Intersection

January 24, 2022 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

In all walks of life, we come across a point in which a decision needs to be made. At times they are small things like what cereal should I buy? Other occasions where it is not such an easy decision, perhaps which career to go into. Regardless, there are those who have most likely made … Continue reading Intersection

Mercy’s war

March 28, 2021March 28, 2021 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Advice, Story

There are always moments in our lives where we lose a friend to an incident you may not ever be ready for. Prior to the incident you could describe your friendship/relationship with someone as near perfect, one that you have full trust with that person. If you remove that single incident you would most definitely … Continue reading Mercy’s war

Up into the clouds

March 21, 2021 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

Du Toits Peak - The highest peak in the Western Cape within direct sight of the ocean. Elevation: 1995m (6545ft). Difficulty: 9/10. About two years ago Du Toits Peak became a word in my mountaineer vocabulary. Grueling, challenging and slightly silly to go without a guide were all words to describe the ascent. Those were … Continue reading Up into the clouds

The best way to buy a CD

January 10, 2021 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

I am always inspired by a few people that have come against all odds and came out on top. To name a few: Anders Hoffman, Riaan Manser, Wim Hof and Bear Grylls. If you aren't quite sure who they are then imagine cycling across Africa, or doing the Ironman in Antarctica. And honestly, that sort … Continue reading The best way to buy a CD

Placing faith

June 8, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

There comes a time when your faith is tested. You trust for something and one day it comes true, or so you think, so you hope. As time goes by doubt seems to fade in. Then the choice becomes yours to believe whether it was ever true and if your hope was put in the … Continue reading Placing faith

Mano de Dios

May 13, 2020May 24, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

With new regulations all across the world forcing us to stay at home we seldom have that time where we can go out and enjoy an adventure of some sorts, perhaps even no time. So that leaves me with looking at the past and telling a story in which I was 'free'. If you have … Continue reading Mano de Dios

What remains is

May 10, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

The beauty in between Above is an image taken on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini in the year of 2017. We were on the summit of Mias Poort, overlooking the mountains in the distance. Did we have a permit you ask? Huh, what's that? Anyways, I mentioned that I was using this ancient 'smartphone' of … Continue reading What remains is

Are we forced into situations?

May 7, 2020May 3, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

There is a film that keeps on popping up in my head. It's called Point Break. I am referring to the latest one, the reboot in 2015. However the one in '91 with Keanu Reeves is not much different besides the obvious signs of a smaller budget. The film is about an adrenaline junkie, Johnny, … Continue reading Are we forced into situations?

Risk Taking

April 27, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story, Uncategorized

I recently read this book by Bear Grylls: Mud, Sweat and Tears. After going to the GLS summit last year I watched Bear give a testimony on his life and how to keep that fire going on in yours. He has always been a significant person in my life for his adventurous spirit and the … Continue reading Risk Taking

Looking for ‘You’

April 6, 2020 by jonathanbridge1407, posted in Story

There are some first impressions in life in which one never forgets. Whether it is for a bad reason, a funny reason or maybe even because there was something different about the moment. In this case, I'm going to write about when you see someone truly breathtaking. Over the years there are some moments where … Continue reading Looking for ‘You’
