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
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

I'm sure everyone has their own goals but so often we never seem to achieve them. We waste our time on the wrong things and fear that we may … Continue reading Taking the first step
Is it worth getting thrown into the deep end?
A wise word from a wise man: Life is diffuicult. This is not actually from a wise person because it doesn't take a genious to figure out the above statement. It seems that the older we get, the more responsibilities are taken over by us. This means that there is more at stake. Sometimes in … Continue reading Is it worth getting thrown into the deep end?
A journey to the unknown
I wish I could say this is my first entry to my very first blog: Wanderingwithapurpose. But it's not.
