The ISS makes a pass over Cape Town. Shutter speed: 60secs @ F2.8

No probs! It was quite prominent in the news at the time, and I'm sure anyone following an astronomy website would have known about it. I use heavens-above.com for following satellites and the ISS (pics to follow).

Phew man! Good luck. Sounds very strange. Have you tried checking any of the hospitals in the area?

Looks like it's going to be a cool-ish start Tomorrow, Saturday 30/07/2011 Time Forecast Temp.

Exactly! It's also safer. Ever seen anyone hit by a car while in bed getting "proper exercise"?

Hayley, where can you get one at that price? I know of someone who is looking for one too.

My Magneeto works like a bomb. Good ventilation and the arms are removable. Well worth the investment.

Dunno about long pants, but I'm definitely looking for leg-warmers. The best I can find at the mo are the First Ascent ones at R339.

Any special prices on leg-warmers?

FM are you referring to this weekend or next(28th)? http://m.yr.no/place/South_Africa/Western_Cape/De_Doorns/long.html

Oh crap - just looked at the weather forecast for Saturday: 7 deg C, lots of rain and a strong North-Wester - should be fun

Koue is niks! Solank ek net nie weer op my kop val nie! Sal heelmoontlik gaan. Jy al 'n baadjie gekry? Ek sal maar vir jou 'n medalje hou.....

H, Het jy 'n profiel vir die 35km?
