  1. if it's going to be a large group of people for a bring and braai I usually take wors and maybe lamb chops. I don't take anything I'd be sad to loose. Most of the time people stick to what they bring but if lots of people bring lamb chances are good I won't get my piece. So it works for and I'm happy. On the odd occasion I take something better I make sure I'm at the braai and get my meat when it's done.
  2. black weetbix
  3. I bought this watch last week and it's too big for me. Anyone interested for R800 https://www.kronensoehne.com/en/product/KSNG002-KS068
  4. Agree, needs to be campy
  5. took a chance and got this from bidorbuy this week. Not sure if it's going to be too big and if the quality is great but we'll see
  6. very very nice

  8. on bigbayevents.co.za there are two open water swim races open for entry. The one is a 1.6km next month in bigbay on womens day and the other is the end of October at Benguela cover (500m, 1km, 3km 5km)
  9. thanks all
  10. Thanks Myles. What wood it roofing lumber and do any of the main building supplier stock it?
  11. so I want to make a sleeper couch like this. any suggestions where I can get wood for the frame, roughly 10-15cm square and about 1m long? can we pine, meranti or other inexpensive wood
  12. just wrong
  13. who is this?
  14. did my return on the 1st and the refund was in my account today
  15. way too much
  16. have only once done 10km in the pool and it was broken up into 500m sets. Took me 3h40 to complete. 2h29 is impressive
  17. I'm sure Theo doesn't pay what the average person pays. But if I wanted to do 104 crossings with Derrick at big bay events it would cost over R230k
  18. This is a photo taken of my daughter on Monday. Thought it was really good. Can check out the photographers facebook page (Jomandie Dempers)
  19. did my return on Saturday and should get almost R3k back. Hasn't come in yet but we'll see later in the week.
  20. managed to meet up with two guys in langebaan for a swim around the island. The tide was low and I swam the more direct route so ended up about 2.8km (was hoping at least 3km) The water was great. Started out a bit cold in the channel but warmed up, at least it felt warmer. The other guy swimming recons it varied between 12 and 14 degrees for the swim. A huge thank you to David for offering to paddle for me and Anton for joining the swim. If you're ever in the langebaan area I'd suggest you make contact with the swimmers there and go around the island. Very friendly and helpful
  21. well done, you'll definitely be able to hit 2m/100 by the end of the year
  22. I could do the gym but need to get cold ocean water time and distance in. I've done 2km at 14 degrees and it was fine so we'll see
  23. Have had a good month swimming. So far I've done 48km this month. Longest straight pool swim has been 4km and longest total pool session has been 5km (4x1250m) Unfortunately only 1 open water swim but going to langebaan this week end and joining 2 locals there for a swim around the island. Will be 3-3.2km and water temperature hopefully 13 degree. My only worry is that the water level in the gym pool is dropping significantly and soon we won't be able to swim there. On one extended under water pull this morning I clipped the bottom of the pool. I completely agree with them not filling the pool up but soon I won't be training as much, oh well
  24. that smoke formation looks rather interesting
