Taking the Scenic Route
A Summer’s Escapades Into The Mountain Kingdom Part 4 of 4 Words and photos courtesy of Rex Fey Taking the Scenic Route This year in mid-May I had a long weekend available and I had just met a rabidly enthusiastic fly fisherman who was fit and keen join me on a hike up into Lesotho to catch […]
Back to the Highlands
While everyone is up in arms about the monsters of Katze! Rex Fey has been back to highlands recently. More stunning scenery from the Mountain Kingdom… Rex and Mike Avery were exploring new waters somewhere high and found a few small ones…
Lesotho: Rounding Off
Getting back to work and routine last week was a serious shock to the system. I made several starts at finishing off my Lesotho posts but never even made a dent. So after a very well deserved (at least I think it was well deserved 🙂 ) weekend, I’m here in front of the keyboard […]
Lesotho: Every dog has his day

Lesotho: To The Escarpment
So the destination today was the escarpment. We were up early and packed light. Ryan was told were leaving in 30min, we left in an hour. He was getting better 🙂 The day promised to be hot; the sky spread blue to the distant horizons and the mountain’s seemed alive. We skipped the water I […]
