Last updated: 28.08.2025 - Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you least expect them. Driving out to what I assumed would be 'just another small market' on the R50, I had no idea I was about to find one of the most vibrant Sunday afternoon experiences in the Pretoria area. ...

Padstal Equestria (The Grove Mall) Review

Avatar for Shaun DouglasPretoria
Last updated: 26.08.2025 - Forget polite dinners and quiet celebrations – my friend's 40th birthday bash exploded into a night of laughter, creative drinks courtesy of the legendary Christian at Padstal Equestria, and even a spontaneous dance-off that might have been fueled by good company or something a little stronger; this wasn't just a get-together, it was a full-blown Padstal experience, and let me tell you, you need to go hungry, thirsty, and ready for anything. ...

Beyond the Horizon: Insta360 X5 vs. DJI Osmo 360 – The Ultimate 8K Showdown for Your Wallet

Avatar for Shaun DouglasVideography
I have been using a GoPro Black 10 for the last 4 years, and I think it’s time for an upgrade. I’m in the market for a 360 action camera. Currently, I’m Pro Insta360 X5 and with the DJI 360 OSMO making noise, I thought I would do a deep dive to see which one is best.

Adventure Zone Zip-line, Cullinan Review

Avatar for Shaun DouglasCullinan
Last updated: 31.07.2025 - It was a friend's 40th birthday, and I thought throwing some adventure into the celebrations would be a good idea. The activity of choice was a 1.5 km zip-line experience.

Then, we drove through Rayton and Cullinan, and about 18km outside, Cullinan was where all the fun and games were taking place. ... Continue Reading
