Restio fields on the high plateau glistened a beautiful copper...rustling continuously in the winter breeze. Beyond, sandstone crags shone silver as the cloud gently lifted. #SouthAfrica

Last night I went to watch the pre-screening of this years BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL WORLD TOUR (@banffmountainfestival) and as per usual it’s loaded with some pretty inspirational stuff. From a 97 y/o who just keeps on running to a young Nepali guy who built his own MTB so he could ride and then there’s the mom & daughter pair who trekked for half a year across the wild mountains of British Columbia in winter...⛰⛰⛰ Thank You @capeunionmart for always bringing this to our shores. #BANFFSA2019

It rained...and thus the forest became ever more alive. 🌿 #SouthAfrica

The wind kicked up dust on the roadside as we peered across the incredible valley. Earlier it had been absolutely calm with the silence broken only by beautiful birdsong. ⛰ #SouthAfrica

Apart from the fisherman it was just me, the mountains and the sea. #SouthAfrica

The daisies held tight but didn’t lose their vibrancy as an icy cold wind blew across the high plateau. Rain was on the way that night and our finger tips could feel it. #SouthAfrica

The tablecloth forming as the day drew to a close 🌄 #SouthAfrica

💥Golden light at Silvermine! #CapeTown

My new trail shoes have been fantastic to use on the mountain where I've enjoyed some excellent dry weather hiking so far. I'm keen to use them in wet conditions however to see how they handle tougher situations. In the dry they've been super grippy on the rocky footpaths and extremely comfortable to wear all day. Although I don't run I have had the urge to move a bit quicker with these featherweight shoes on! 🙂 Check out @hitec_sa for more on the V-Lite OX Trail Racer. #hitecsa #vlite #sponsored
