Today’s the last day of my Plettenberg Bay to Cape Town journey. I’ve gotta tell you ’bout the people, places, and Huskies that made my last day of walking so special. The Fossil (aka Des) and I hung around Hout Bay beach until 9 am, and when nobody showed up to walk with me, I […]

Yippee! Did I have fun today? You betcha! Today’s MushItUp was the best day of my entire Walk 4 SOS Huskies fundraising journey. And guess what? I’ve been made an Honorary Member of the Mush It Up Husky Sled Pulling Team! So we met up at Muizenberg’s Sunrise Circle (on the beach in front of False […]

Todays leg of my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey starts from the Noordhoek side of Chapman’s Peak Drive and ends in Hout Bay. That’s the plan. How did it turn out? Read on… It was still raining in Kommetjie this morning. Around mid-morning the rain eased up, so The Fossil (aka Desmond) packed our stuff […]

We left Sartorial House Self Catering Studios in Simons Town this morning to drive to Kommetjie. We actually started todays leg of my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey from the same Kommetjie Long Beach spot that we ended off at yesterday. Except that today it’s overcast and it started raining just as we arrived on […]

It’s a long walk from Craftart and Gallery Emporium at 128 Saint Georges Street in Simons Town to Kommetjie – sixteen kilometres (that’s about 10 miles to my overseas followers). But that’s OK ’cause it only took three hours and twenty minutes to get there, and I’m loving my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. We […]

The Cape weather is weird! Yesterday was sunny with clear skies, and today’s overcast and rainy. Well, we left The Yard, our pet-friendly host in Gordon’s Bay, and headed for Simons Town in the Mahindra PIKUP to continue my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey today. I’m sure looking forward to seeing the statue of ‘Just […]

Wow, what a beautiful day for walking! Sunny, clear sky, no wind, and that unique fynbos smell in the air. Sadly, we have to leave the Frank Robb Hut at Kleinmond Caravan Park to continue my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey today. We’re being hosted at The Yard in Gordon’s Bay tonight, but more about […]

The Fossil took over my blog yesterday (again), so today it’s my turn. Just ’cause he cancelled our Saturday walk along Clarence Drive doesn’t mean we’re cancelling my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. No way! This weekend I’m walking the hiking trails around the Hut where we’re staying in the Kleinmond Caravan Park. The Fossil […]

Hi Husky lovers! This is Des (aka The Fossil). Today, I’m taking over Jaxx’s blog to describe the Rooi Els to Gordon’s Bay section of his Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. Yesterday, we drove our Mahindra PIKUP from Rooi Els all the way along the R44 to see the conditions under which Jaxx would need to walk […]

I had a grooming session today! The nice ladies at The Dog Ladies (that’s Nusca Michéla and Jenney Spykerman holding my leash outside their shop in Kleinmond) sponsored this for me after the Fossil explained my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. And they really are “Dog Ladies”! No, not in looks – I mean the […]
