Hey man,

It is on days like this that I thank the Lord for putting me on this earth to experience the absolute beauty of this place.
Cape Town today, my good people, is tapping on the door of perfection. My day has been that incredible that when I sit on an aeroplane to fly to JHB for the weekend I might just cry. Yes even me, I might shed a tear leaving this place.

But anyway, if you looking for a holiday give me a shout, I need to share this city with some good people.

Next week I am taking some mates from the USA for a spin around the Cape Town block with visits to the Greenpoint stadium, a few sips of wine in the winelands and a trot up the mountain to just stand in awe of the beauty of the fairest cape of them all.

Before I fly though, I must go for a swim. Clifton here we come.

Hey team,

One big thank you to everyone for your unbelievable support in the Bar One Manhunt.
The fact that absolute strangers have come up and said well done in the streets and spent their hard earned cash on me entertaining them has been special.
Just to think, with a camera, some crazy experiences and 3 mil viewers you can actually get some stuff done.

I am sure Bar One are very happy anyway.

So, to sail this ship home we need to get everyone picking up there phones and smsing those votes through: “Bar One Gareth” to 34704.

Thanks everyone again for playing a part in such an unbelievable experience.

SUUNTO T3c

I’ve been searching for a time machine to take along on my adventures.  There are so many brands out there these days, but none that really meet my needs like the SUUNTO range. Made for adventure!

I picked up the T3c from the guys in Jozi last week and it is going to be incredible. I have never come across a watch with such quick, accurate heart rate pickup and when I take delivery of my foot pod and GPS pod I am sure I am going to have some insane report backs.

If anyone is interested in the SUUNTO range give me a shout.

Big thanks to the guys at SUUNTO for partnering with me on my adventures.

Everyone should get out into the bush and put a 4×4 to the test, it is amazing what these machines are capable of.

The 4×4 challenge had us Bar One Men heading out to Nelspruit to put the Nissan Navara’s to the test. Very good looking cars, but a bit low on the clearance side of things. This didn’t deter us from taming the path ahead of us.

Steve and I rocked the challenege. Mr SA turned out to be one incredible navigator and even decied to get dirty for the cause of victory.

Ha ha, thanks Steve-o.

Enjoy the show tonight guys.

If anyone has some good sugegstions for 4x4ing in Cape Town let me know, I am sure we can organise soem Nissans for the party. Drop us a comment…

Landing after jumping out at 11000 ft

Hi Team,

I am sure you all saw last night. We Jumped out of Aeroplanes. It was amazing, the checklist of “Things to do before you die” is getting slimmer and slimmer.
The view from up there is incredible. I kind’ve have an idea of the view God has up in heaven looking down on creation. I bet he is cool with heights though.
I can’t say the same for the majority of us mere mortals on Earth.
When I realised I was jumping out of the aeroplane, at cloud level I realised what I was doing was Crazy.

Thanks to Bar One and to the guys at the Rustenburg Skydiving club it was an unforgettable day.

I am heading down to the midlands this weekend to take part in the Midmar Mile. It will be some prep for the Cadiz Robben Island Freedom Swim.

I’ll be taking part in the Company relay on Saturday.

Pull in we’ll see you there.

The Rainbow Runner

Hey team, how are these crazy tekkies?

Rainbow shoes for a rainbow nation, watch this space…
New Balance are bringing some colour into the world of road running and everyone will be itching to get their hands on a pair of these beauties.
Comrades, Two Oceans and Kysna are going to be alive this year.

Nicely done New Balance

The kids down at Rustenburg, Bishops and Westerford are playing out of their boots. The little rockstars.
I went down to take part in the BRIC initiative at the V&A Waterfront last week to hand out a few BarOnes.
THe Cause- Habitat For Humanity
The Vehicle- Bicycles-
The Tone- Insanity-
The Time- 25hours-
The Atmosphere- elctric.
Yes these kids cycled for 25hours through the night at the V&A Waterfront.
When not cycling these guys were selling “BRICS” to raise funds to build houses in the CapeTown townships. In time for winter for more families to have rooves over their heads.
It is kids like these that are doing there little bit to overwhelm the world
Well done Skye and team.
