Cradle Moon Hiking Trail Review

Signs of winter are all around us. The sun rises later, and it’s much cooler in the mornings. I’m on my way to the Muldersdrift area. It’s about an hour's drive from Centurion. When I left home, it was still dark. This morning, I planned to start early, and I like to be earlier than usual just in case I get lost or if parking might be a problem. The venue for today's hike was Cradle Moon. It was my second time at the venue. The first time, I guided a few friends on a hike, and now I am here with the Centurion Hiking Club. ...

The Grondpad Brauhouse Restaurant Review

Last updated: 07.04.2025 - It was Father's Day, and we were making our way back from shopping in the Centurion area. I had driven past the Grondpad Brauhouse a few times over the last couple of weeks, and I thought, "Why not? Let's go and check them out." Mind you, they are located right next to the Padstal, which I have yet to visit. I wonder how business is with the Padstal across from the road. ... Continue Reading

Outdoor X EXPO Pretoria Review

Last updated: 07.04.2025 - I wanted to see what the Outdoor X EXPO was all about. It took place at Idle Wild Country Estate outside Pretoria, in the same direction as The Big Red Barn. The cost of attendance was R150 per person, which is not bad, considering all there is to see and do. The event was much larger than I had anticipated. As I headed towards the entrance, I feared facing the usual 300-meter-long queue typical at aviation shows. I had also heard about some drama from the previous year. ... Continue Reading
