arine debris, particularly the accumulation of plastic in the ocean, is of growing concern around the world. With the increasing use of plastics in our day-to-day lives, combined with their inappropriate disposal, the build up of plastic in the oceans is alarming. To date not much work has been done on the effects of plastics on the environment, but the little work that has been done suggests there is cause for concern. With this in mind, the marine debris project, otherwise known as “This Project is Rubbish!” is focused on marine debris in particular plastics. This project is run by the South African Shark Conservancy (SASC), funded by Project Aware and supported by Plastics SA. It was one of six winning projects from around the globe of Project Aware’s Ocean Action Projects for 2013.

“This Project is Rubbish!” looks at two beaches—one blue flag beach and one non-blue flag beach in Walker Bay. Every week we go to the same beach and, using a GPS, walk the same line from the top of the beach near the dunes down to where the sand meets the sea. While we walk along this line, we pick up anything which isn’t natural, most of which is plastic. The idea is to see how much debris/plastic is washing up on our beaches and to hopefully identify their sources to try and mitigate the problem.

We also endeavour to make people aware of the problem regarding marine debris and how they can help reduce the amount of rubbish entering the ocean. What a lot of people don’t realise is that even if you throw litter away on the ground, when it rains that litter gets washed into the storm water drains and all these drains end up discharging their contents into the ocean. Small fish end up eating the small pieces of plastic, and then bigger fish eat the smaller fish and the harmful effects pass all the way up the food chain. Plastic has even been found in the stomachs of whale sharks!

With the build up to the holiday season and many tourists coming to our beaches, we urge people to be conscious of the harmful impact plastics are having on the environment and would like to remind people to please dispose of their trash in an appropriate manner.

DIS BYNA KERSTYD!!! Lekker eet en geskenke oopmaak saam met familie en vriende. Ook ʼn tyd om om te gee vir ander. Vorige maand is ʼn vriendin van ons veels te jonk oorlede aan kanker. Ons

by Splash het besluit om ʼn fonds in haar naam te stig, so met die Kersfees-gees in die lug, dra by en help ander wat dalk nie so maklik dié Kerstyd kan glimlag nie.

SPLASH.Dec Soho=1/4block.indd 1

CHRISTMAS…?

I love winter. I’m built for the chilly season. I’m lily white and well padded – no doubt because my ancestors had to endure the freezing cold for centuries before some rebellious oupagrootjie decided he couldn’t stand the cold/ the government/his thieving neighbours any longer and got onto a ship and made the perilous sea journey down to deep dark Africa. Oupagrootjie and his clan had no idea that in Africa you celebrate Christmas in the sweltering heat with braaivleis and watermelon. Maar ons is nou hier… no turning back now… Blykbaar is daar net een plek in Suid-Afrika waar jy ’n Wit Kersfees kan ervaar – Orania? Ag nee wat. Nie vir my nie dankie.

One day I’d like to spend a white snowy Christmas somewhere in Europe in front of a crackling fire, but given the exchange rate that won’t be happening anytime soon. Instead I have spent most of this year in Johannesburg. The city of gold and perfect weather. And daily mall robberies… Oops. Kinda puts a damper on Christmas shopping not to mention the Christmas spirit. I cannot wait to get back to Hermanus and my beloved Amulet… I am most definitely suffering from serious withdrawal. I kinda like living in the South where there’s always a nice little breeze to cool you down when it gets too hot. And if you’re really melting from the heat, I dare you to jump into the sea without a wet suit. Once you’ve lost the feeling in your feet, feel free to drop in for some hot chocolate to bring your frozen limbs back to life.

Seriously, summer scares me a bit. I feel I should be out jogging, cycling, exercising. I hate jogging. I’m a flop.

South Africans love the outdoor life – People from all over flock to Hermanus to jog, surf, cycle and walk their dogs.

I see them in the mornings as I sit sipping my tea (two sugars!) watching the healthy world briskly walking past.

I feel like I want to put up a ‘Joggers will be proscecuted’ sign. Stop making me feel so guilty. And no, the gym doesn’t do it for me either. Winter gives you subtle permission to feel down in the dumps. You can simply blame the weather. But who dares to be depressed on a beautiful summer’s day. Especially when the wind isn’t blowing. So buck up and get it together grumpy!

My man het self ’n moeilike jaar agter die rug. Hy moes my aand na aand oor die foon troos omdat ek net heeltyd my tas wou pak en terugkom huis toe. Vra maar vir Percy - dis nie maklik om ’n vrou uit ’n swartgallige bui te praat nie. Partykeer het dit gewerk, partykeer nie. So vandag gaan ek diep delf en al die wonderlike positiewe dinge en mense in my land raaksien en uitwys. Die rede hoekom ek nog steeds hier bly en vir altyd hier sal bly. Dis nou behalwe vir die feit dat die oorsese lande nou nie juis oor hulle voete val om nog ’n middeljarige aktrise/skrywer/ winkeleienaar in hulle land te verwelkom nie. Nee ernstig, ek het geen begeerte om oorsee te gaan bly nie en hier is ’n paar van die redes.

1) Ek ly aan gesonde geheueverlies. Ek onthou net die goeie goed. En sodra ek aan ’n perfekte voorbeeld kan dink gaan ek dit hier invul. … Ehm…. Laat ek dink… O gaats… Lyk my daai geheueverlies is heeltemal te gesond.

2) Ek het ’n verwronge sin vir humor. Party mense sal sê ’n swart sin vir humor, maar dan sê ek net hou die politiek hier uit baie dankie. Want daaroor het ek beslis nog nie ’n sin vir humor nie en my geheueverlies wil ook om die dood nie inskop nie. Ewentwil (dis darem so ’n mooi Afrikaanse woord) laat ek terugkom by die positiewe redes hoekom Suid-Afrika my gunsteling land is.

3) Baie van ons TV programme is skreeusnaaks. Gewoonlik vir die verkeerde redes, maar snaaks is snaaks, maak nie saak hoekom nie. Hier kan ek wel ’n voorbeeld noem.

TV Nuus: Ernstige storie. Gedenkdiens vir ontslape soldate in die Kongo. Deel van die verrigtinge – Valskermsoldate spring uit ’n vliegtuig. Eerste soldaat (met valskerm) ‘vlieg’ in ’n rugbypaal vas. Boing! Ek dag ek kyk na America’s funniest videos. Helaas nee. SABC nuus.

Ek is ’n aaklige mens. Ek moes ’n kussing oor my gesig sit sodat die bure nie hoor hoe ek lag nie. En hulle het GLAD nie ’n sin vir humor nie… en hulle is beslis ook nie die rede hoekom ek in Suid-Afrika bly nie. Oeps daar kom die swartgalligheid… Wyk negatiwiteit, wyk!

4) Rede nommer 4 … jammer nou kan ek nie aan nog ’n rede dink nie… O, wag.

Die Rugby! Hoe kon ek daai een vergeet. Ek raak ’n totaal ander mens as ek rugby kyk – ek verskree die skeidsregter, hol saam met Brian Habana oppad doellyn toe, kry fisies seer as ’n Springbok hooggevat word… En daar’s ’n paar oorsese skeidsregters op my hit-list. En hou jou mond van Duane Vermeulen af. Miskien is dit hoekom die bure nie ’n sin vir humor het

nie. Dalk skree ek te hard op Saterdagmiddae. Ag wel, dan moet hulle ophou om op die onmoontlikste tye gras te sny. ’n Weed-eater is een van die grootste euwels van die moderne lewe.

Die weedeater ten spyt: daar is tonne ander redes om vrolik te wees: a) My liefste man wat my en my nukke verduur en verstaan en my en die res van die huisgesin tot in die afgrond bederf en vet voer – dis die dat ek nie my wit lyf op die strand kan gaan afwys nie. Glo my, Suid-Afrika is nog nie gereed vir daardie gesig nie. TV Nuus nog minder! b) My Rottweiler, Gorgeous wat my in die oggende kom wakkermaak nadat Percy die deur oopgemaak het. Wat dan met sy logge liggaam bo-op my in die bed spring en op my kop trap en my in die gesig probeer lek terwyl ek desperaat probeer opstaan… Nee man ek praat van die hond, nie my man nie. Alhoewel daar nogal ooreenkomste is… hoekom dink jy is die hond se naam Gorgeous? c) My ongelooflike wyse tienerdogter wat deesdae presies dieselfde raad aan my uitdeel as al die ou ge-ykte cliché’s wat ek kleintyd aan haar opgedis het. Ter verdediging ’n Cliché is darem ook net ’n cliché omdat dit so waar is. d) Liezl van Petz Stuff langsaan Amulet wat gereeld die oulikste baba hondjies het, die dat my familie ’n Labrador, Rottweiler en nou ook ’n Yorkie insluit. e) My vriendin Annette wat honderde foto’s van haar pragtige seuntjie Benjamin op Facebook sit – sy kan net nie ophou na hom kyk nie. Om nie te praat van James wat nie kan ophou kyk na sy vrou en sy seun nie. f) Splash lesers wat glo ontsteld was omdat ek nie verlede maand ’n artikel geskryf het nie. AAAAAhhhh… dit beteken vir my so baie. Wat help dit ek skryf iets en niemand lees dit nie. Dankie!

Ag nee wat Helene, wie kan nou depressief wees… Ek tel die slapies af. Ek’s een van die dae terug in my Happy plek.

Teen die tyd wat jy die lees is ek terug in Amulet, die mooiste winkel waar fabulous mense onverwags inloop, ’n geselsie aanknoop en voor ek weet het ek nog ’n fantastiese mens leer ken. En dis wat hierdie plek van ons so spesiaal maak.

Anina Storm Le Roux Anina Storm Le Roux - ’n bekende by Onrus maar nou ’n ongelooflike legende na sy haar dapper stryd teen breinkanker op 21 Oktober verloor het, slegs ’n paar maande voor haar 29e verjaarsdag.

Ons hier by Splash sal die sprankelende Anina mis wat al van haar jong dae af hier by Onrus vakansie gehou het, haar beste vriende en vriendinne in ons kontrei gemaak het en haar beste lewens ervaringe hier neergepen het.

Ter nagedagtenis aan Anina het Splash besluit ’n fonds te skep in haar naam by CANSA in Onrus rivier en sodoende kan CANSA meer mense bystaan en hulp verleen aan die wat soortgelyke tydings deurgaan soos Anina die laaste jare met haar siekte ervaar het.

Donasies kan gemaak word na die onderstaande bankbesonderhede: Rekening naam: Cancer Association of South Africa Bank: Absa Bank Takkode: 632005 Rekening nr.: 1007511287 Spaarrekening Verwysing: Splash

Laastens, wil ons ʼn gedig meedeel wat Christiaan Storm, Anina se jonger broer, vir haar geskryf het:

To a sister towards the light She walks throughout the darkened night To a sister that has the might That never gives up a fight To a sister that has the sight To enter through what is right May she ever be as tight As the day she became my winning knight

PERMANENT MAKEUP The festive season is finally here! With lots of parties, days at the beach, and spending time with friends and family ahead there is plenty to look forward to.

However, the late nights and constant socialising can make us look tired and washed out. Makeup is great for hiding all the flaws and tired eyes, but having to apply this every day can become a bit of a chore.

Luckily there is a solution to always looking your best, or to put it differently, ‘Wake up with makeup’.

Below is an excellent example of what a huge difference a full face of Permanent Makeup can do for you.

Gabrielskloof

Arriving at Gabrielskloof, one drives through the vineyards and olive orchards.

We kicked off the day with a tasting, comprising of an intimate selection of wines, olives and olive oil.

The food experience started with bobotie springrolls, pork terrine and smoked snoek. The bobotie springrolls had a sweet curry taste with a crunch from the spring roll, perfect combination. The pork terrine, just amazing, was served with a ginger jelly and raison melba toast. The ginger jelly complimented the pork terrine in a way I have never experienced.

My taste buds went crazy. Then we had snoek and patat croquettes. The snoek is smoked with Rooibos tea and served on a corn fritter topped with avocado salsa. The taste of rooibos and the sweetness of the corn made me feel right at home. That was just the starters… slow roasted pork belly, free range duck legs and a 28-day matured Sirloin. The kabeljou was served with new potatoes accompanied with broad bean and pea shoot salad, and red pesto to round off the dish. The Duck leg was served with duck-andRavioli being a new taste for me, I matured sirloin was served on a potato and onion bake and crispy onion rings; a beautiful mushroom sauce. All the elements on the plate complimented the perfectly cooked sirloin. The slow roasted pork belly was served on gem squash, mashed potatoes and topped with an apple and caramelized onion.

This beautifully presented dish was my favourite dish of the day!

The selection of desserts makes it next to impossible to choose. After a lot of consideration, we decided on the Lindt dark chocolate fondant and the Crème Brulee. The chocolate fondant speaks for itself, deliciously yummy best describes what it tastes like. The crème brulee is an all-time favourite with its perfectly crisp top and creamy inside.

Then we were served a surprise from the chef… home-made ice cream: vanilla pod, chocolate mousse, berry compote and rum-and-raison (adults only). The ice cream was my favourite; What a day! Perfect venue, perfect wine, perfect food and perfect company.

A huge thank you to Gabrielskloof, Marianne and Frans Groenewald and their friendly staff.

A Taste of History Dining at

The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the magnificent views of Walker Bay’s historic old harbor provide for a beautiful setting and relaxed atmosphere to wine & dine.

A National Monument, surrounded by mystery and romance…this is the oldest building in Hermanus, standing since 1875, and home to “The Burgundy Restaurant”.

Its culinary journey started back in 1928, when Miss Ethel Rubery purchased the property and started the “Cypress Tea Garden”.

Tim Hamilton Russell later turned it into the first wine tasting room for the region, and in 1987 “The Burgundy Restaurant” opened its doors.

These days it is in the expert hands of Rudolf van den Berg – chef, entrepreneur and culinary genius who knows what people really like to eat.

The Burgundy menu has a Mediterranean feel, reminding of Jamie Oliver and Nigel Slater’s style cooking. Comfort food. Soul food.

Exciting flavors and textures, artfully prepared from fresh local produce.

One of their best sellers is the beer batter deepfried hake and calamari with fries – and do they know how to make fries! The best you will ever come across. The calamari was so soft it melted in our mouth.

The Caprese Salad with smoked mozzarella & focaccia or the Smoked Salmon Trout Salad with steamed greens, caper berries, croutons and sour cream dressing makes for a perfect meal on hot summer days.

The Caprese Salad was full of flavour, with basil pesto & fresh tomato.

The Smoked Salmon Trout Salad with the almond flake & croutons; this was picture perfect, I love a salad with a crunch, that’s what we received. This is a must try.

Their menu is quite extensive and caters to all tastes, even sporting traditional dishes such as Bobotie and Pancakes with milk tart filling. A meal for every occasion.

Whilst feasting on chef Rudolf’s magnificent creations, I could not help but think of Ernest Hemmingway’s, A Moveable Feast: “As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”

Rooi

Die storie agter die Kersvader figuur is so inspirerend, dat dit jou dadelik in die regte gemoed sit vir Kersfees. Volgens die legende

Rooi verteenwoordig eerstens die bloed van Jesus. Die ryk kleur verwys na die kuns van liefde gee, ons menslikheid teenoor mekaar en die bewuswording van ons menseverhoudinge. Die opregtheid en egtheid wat binne almal van ons is.

Die liefde wat heers in ons verhoudinge.

Rooi verteenwoordig krag en rykdom met vooruitgang wat ons mekaar gun. ‘n Oorvloed vir almal. Dit bind ons saam, kinders van God, broers en susters.

Ek het rooi fluweel as tafeldoek gebruik en dit om ‘n kersboom gedrapeer, as simbool van verbinding teenoor mekaar. Die rooi strik om die messegoed maak ons familie, hou ons bymekaar.

was St. Nicholas ‘n priester wat in die 14de eeu gelewe het in die streek Asia Minor, vandag bekend as Turkye. Hy was ‘n baie ryk man, wat goed by sy ouers geerf het, ‘n baie goeie man met ‘n reputasie dat hy die armes gehelp het en sy geld gegee het aan die wat dit nodig

Die rooi fluweel is verruklik warm en snoesig wat die emosie van omgee en liefde aan my gaste oordra. Ek het n geheime persentjie weggesteek in ‘n antieke potjie. Rooi glasware laat skitter in die lig.

gehad het of selfs in die vorm van geheime geskenke. Vandag is dit ons tradisie om geskenke te oorhandig met Kersfees.

Die lekkerte om te kan gee is so bevredigend.

Daar is soveel plesier in om die regte geskenk te vind, toe te draai, te versier en te verfraai.

Dis ook die hele gevoel van Kersfees. Die gee, ontvang, saam lag, vreugde uitdeel en liefde betoon.

Ek het besluit om my kersfeestafel te stileer in verskillende tafelplasings, om die kleur simbole van Kersfees uit te beeld en elemente te gebruik met betekenis. My tafelplasings bestaan uit rooi, groen, wit en goud.

Groen Goen is die kleur van lewe, ewige lewe van Jesus. Dit herhinner ons daaraan om elke dag ons eie lewe te vereer. Dankbaarheid te betoon vir wat ons het en daagliks ontvang. Groen maak ons bewus dat daar vooruitgang bestaan met nuwe moontlikhede dat wanneer dit nie met ons goed gaan nie, daar ook ‘n einde sal wees met ‘n nuwe begin.

Groen gee hoop, verwys na somer en ons eie groei as mens.

Verteenwoordig die sirkel van lewe en ons geestelike welvaart. Die oorwinning van lewe oor die dood. Die mistiek van die lewe soos ons dit daagliks ervaar. Die engele waak oor my groen tafel en dra ‘n boodskap oor aan my gaste van liefde en geluk.

Kersfees boom

Wit

Goud

Wit simboliseer vrede en gemoedsrus. Vergifnis teenoor ander en onsself. Ons reinheid, met die vergifnis van sondes. Wit beeld God se lig en heiligheid uit. Dit verwys na geluk en gelukkig wees in ons lewe en gee ons veiligheid. Dit is simboliek van God se vertroue.

Ek het “vintage” lappies en Franse kant gebruik vir my stileering. Die ronde vet kerse en skulpballe verteenwoordig die lig en vrede van God. Ek vereer ook met die brandende kerse, my mooi herinneringe aan vriende wat gesterf het.

Goud was deur die wyse manne geskenk aan die klein baba Jesus. Goud is die kleur van die son en warmte in ons harte, dis die kleur van gee. Goud verteenwoordig rykdom met wysheid in ons lewe, verwys na die koningkryk en die hemelse Koning.

Ek het glasware en silver gebruik, om n koninklike tafel te skep. Geverfde drywe blare ingespan as ryk goue versierings.

My kersboom is ‘n “topiary” van ivy, versier met geverfde dennebolle en feetjieliggies.

Die simboliek van die ivy is dat die plant nodig het om aan iets vas te klou, soos ons moet onthou om aan God vas te hou vir bystand en liefde.

Seenwense vir Kersfees aan al die Splashlesers, asook aan die Splashspan wat elke maand gee met ‘n gratis uitgawe aan almal.

5 Potential Pitfalls with Used Car Purchasing

By Ian Badenhorst

confusing. There are very few ways to know if you are getting a used car that will last through all of your needs, or if it will be a lemon and fall apart the second you pull out of the dealer's parking lot.

Dashboard Lights is seeing dashboard lights on. The most common light to see is the check engine light. This is often because of emissions problems, which can make keeping your car legally registered next to impossible. If you see a dashboard light on, swing by an auto parts store during your test drive. Many of these places will connect up a computer reader to the engine's computer and give you a free print out of what the problem within the engine is. This can tell you if it is a few rand’s sensor or a few thousand rand’s overhaul that you can expect in the car's proof thereof.

Previous Damage Auto repair facilities have gotten very good over the last couple of decades. Sometimes accident that you cannot tell it was ever in one from the outside. The problem is that there could be structural damage to the frame that remains hidden underneath the any damage was caused to the car before you got to the dealership is to run a report on the vehicle. Many dealerships will do this for you if you ask them to. They can run a (VIN) or they can run a full diagnostic report on the entire history of the car since the day it was made. Sometimes these reports potential structural damage before buying the car, you could save yourself a lot of time and money.

Pushed Toward Purchase If you are considering buying a used car that the salesperson is pushing on you, then make sure you have your attention at high alert. If the salesperson is being pushy, you should have someone look over the car before signing anything. This should be a work for the dealership. This is often a sign that something is not quite right with the car and they want to move it off the lot before it a problem before you have signed anything, then you can choose to either walk away from the purchase or negotiate with the dealership for a reduced price for the repairs on the vehicle.

Warranty Many used cars come with some type of a limited warranty, or one can be purchased to cover the vehicle at the time the purchase is made. The thing you have to make sure you pay attention to is what exactly is covered in these warranties. Some warranties to three months, while others only cover dealerships will offer the buyer the ability to buy a warranty that is upgraded from their standard. This is something you need to

car.

Priced – too good to be true Many people have heard the adage, if something sounds too good to be true it often is, and this holds very true when buying used cars. If you walk onto a dealer's lot and they have a car that is only a year or thought through your head should be, what

is wrong with this vehicle? Car dealerships rely on the people who run up to vehicles like that and want to jump on the opportunity to get that good of a deal. There are often very expensive repairs that are imminent in vehicles that are that severely marked down.

If you believe the deal you are looking at is too good to be true, then your best bet is to research the average sale price for that year of vehicle and have a mechanic look over

with the car, then by all means, enjoy the savings that this deal has earned you.

Buying used cars can be nerve wracking, but it does not have to be. Hopefully these tips will help keep you aware of what to watch out for. Knowing what to expect during the used car buying process can take a lot of the mystery and confusion out of the equation, making your job much easier and your purchase a pleasurable and rewarding one.

SUMMARY: 2014 FNB W2W MTB Events T

he FNB Wines2Whales (W2W) Mountain Bike (MTB) Events were the cause of much excitement in the Western Cape in November this year.

Taking the form of a three day stage race, participants could choose between the fun-filled FNB W2W MTB Adventure, a slightly more relaxed FNB W2W MTB Ride and the action-packed FNB W2W MTB Race.

Starting in the Winelands of Somerset West, teams of two riders (male/female/mixed) crossed through (and over) 13 wineries, 26 private farms, six mountains, historic roads and mountain passes, nature conservation areas (including the Kogelberg Biosphere) before finishing within sight of the famous whales of Hermanus!

Just under 5000 eager MTB enthusiasts toed the line over the period of the three events to be part of the action.

Each event was faced with very different weather conditions. On day one, FNB W2W MTB Adventure participants had a serious battle with the Cape Doctor, while FNB W2W MTB Ride participants had to contend with rain and FNB W2W MTB Race riders had to overcome the heat.

Christoph Sauser and Konny Looser of Team Meerendal-SONGO-Specialized/Wheeler claimed two stage victories and the overall men’s champions’ title at the 2014 FNB W2W MTB Race completing the three day MTB stage race in a lightning fast time of 08 hours 36 minutes 29 seconds. “It’s great to win my first Wines2Whales Race,” said Sauser. “In the past I’ve entered as part of a corporate team, while last year I rode with Sipho Madolo.

We managed a 5th place overall. Everything came together for Konny and me this year. Every race is different. I like the character of Wines2Whales. Three days of real trail riding, not to mention starting in the Winelands and ending by the sea. It’s very cool”. Rourke Croeser and Travis Walker of Kargo Pro Team came in second, while Johann Rabie and Gawie Combrinck of Team EAI Cycling finished third.

Robyn De Groot and Catherine Williamson of Team Biogen Toyota / Asrin Cycling claimed the women’s team title completing the three days of racing in a combined time of 10 hours 08 minutes 03 seconds. Jennie Stenerhag and Candice Neethling of Team Cape Brewing Company / Time freight Velolife claimed the second spot on the podium, while Anriette Schoeman and Yolandi Du Toit of Team Africa Silks Garmin finished third.

Ashleigh Moolman and Darren Lill of Team Cannondale Blend powered by RED-E secured the overall mixed team champions’ title completing the three MTB stages in a combined time of 10 hours 13 minutes 44 seconds. Mariske Strauss and Hannes Hanekom of Team Giant/Orange Monkey came in second, while Fienie and Kobus Barnard of Team Kromco1 finished third.

Paragliding P

Hermanus

aragliding started in Europe in the late 1970s when enthusiasts and ex-military men were trying to maintain height and essentially fly with their parachutes which were originally designed for controlled decent only.

By the early 1980s Hermanus already had primitive paragliders being flown off Rotary way and landing on the High School fields.

Like all technology these days, ours is developing at a rapid rate too. Gliders are becoming safer, lighter, and stronger and can achieve better performance in height, distance and duration in the air than ever before.

Paragliding is hugely diverse in that you can fly solo wings, share flight through tandems, there is adrenalin packed acrobatic paragliding, simple safe soaring on hills or long distance cross country flying on thermals and vast majestic mountain ranges. You can be a social pilot or if the bug bites enough there are numerous national and international competitions covering the various aspects of the sport. You can fly on your lunch break, (if you have a site close enough?) or you can spend an entire day in the skies and some pilots even fly for a living.

On a good day pilots can launch above the high school, fly to Hawston and back, Stanford and back to Caledon and even Riviersonderend or simply stay and play on our 7km ridge, and yes, we land back up on top of the hill exactly where we launched from.

Paragliding is one of the most liberating and exhilarating experiences the

modern sporting world has to offer. I have deep sea dived, sky-dived, surfed, road cycled, mountain biked, water skied, snow skied, golfed and played all the school based sports on offer and can honestly say nothing compares to free flight. Flight has been a dream of mankind’s since time gone by and we are finally able to achieve extensive distances and sustainable heights without noisy, smelly and sometimes unreliable motors. We use only the fresh air around us and the knowledge gained from every previous flight to go further, get higher and stay up longer.

depends primarily on the individual participating in the activity. We have high standards of tuition, rules and regulations with international air law which gives every pilot the best knowledge to decide for their own safety when attempting to fly.

While in the air you can hear many things including whales expelling large and powerful breaths of air, golfers teeing off below us, and children playing in school yards. We can smell the restaurants getting ready for lunches and on Sundays smell the best of braais. We can see for miles. We see the whales dotted all over the bay while whale watching boats follow them as far as De Kelders, we see yachts playing on the lagoon to our left and large cargo ships slipping silently by the tip of Africa on the horizon to our right. We see wild life in the form of deer, monkeys and baboons.

We fly with pigeon, cormorant, sea gulls, crows, pelicans and even thermal with buzzards regularly.

Take Air, Bevan

Every flight offers a different experience whether it be something you see, a different location flown or simply a new skill or lesson learnt about your own ability.

Like crossing a busy road, cycling a bike on public roads or driving your car, paragliding too has its risks. But just like all of the above, the safety aspect

Pilots range from all ages and professions, both men and women and come fly in Hermanus from all over the world. If anyone would like to experience the freedom of flight right here in your own back yard, by all means contact Paragliding Hermanus.

Trommels vir Kersfees Die volgende skole kry ‘n heerlike vroeë kersgeskenk van die Vriende van Afrikaans af. En wat is dit? ‘n Pragtige blou boektrommel met 90 splinternuwe lekkerleesboeke in:

HERE ARE THE SUMMER’S TOP READS: The Children Act by Ian McEwan R295.00 (ISBN: 9780224101998) “When a court determines any question with respect to the upbringing of the child, the child’s welfare shall be the court’s paramount consideration.” A judge has to decide whether a teenager, a Jehova’s Witness, should get a lifesaving blood. It is a brilliant, emotionally gut wrenching, new novel from the author of Atonement and Amsterdam.

Adultery by Paulo Coelho R290.00 (ISBN: 9780091958886) Linda knows she’s lucky. Yet every morning when she opens her eyes to a so-called new day, she feels like closing them again. Her friends recommend medication. But Linda wants to feel more, not less. And so she embarks on an adventure which reawakens a side of her that she respectable wife, loving mother, ambitious journalist - thought had disappeared. A great read for those lazy beach days.

A Hippo Love Story by Karen Paolillo R235.00 (ISBN: 978143539056) This is a wonderful book of courage, determination, ingenuity, strength and love. I highly recommend it to readers who love animals and like adventure stories. The author, Karen Paolillo, lives in Zimbabwe and has laboured for decades to protect the animals, especially the hippos, which inhabit the bush area and Turgwe River banks.

A Sportful Malice by Michiel Heyns R205.00 (ISBN: 9781868426201) Award-winning novelist Michiel Heyns is back with a dark comic tale. Despite being a slow story, this one made me laugh out loud several times, provided an intriguing setting, plenty of mystery and even a serving of food for thought. Definitely one for under the Christmas tree.

The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell R290.00 (ISBN: 9780340921616) What was born must one day die. So says the contract of life, yes? I am here to tell you, however, that in rare instances this iron clause may be rewritten. The Guardian’s Ursula Le Guin writes that “for all the stuff and nonsense about escaping mortality by switching bodies and devouring souls, death is at the heart of this novel. And there lies its depth and darkness, bravely concealed with all the wit and sleight of hand and ventriloquistic verbiage and taletelling bravura of which Mitchell is a master.” The Bone Clocks is a whirlwind masterpiece not to be missed.
