WORLD’S RAREST White Lion Cub's First Interaction with Pride Mates - Kruger Park
Took my kids to Cosy beach last year, they loved it even though the water is freezing!
Colchester to Woody Cape beach measures approximately 60 kilometers in length. I fly over this stretch regularly and it is completely unspoilt. The sand dunes at Woody Cape are almost 320ft in height above sea level. Woody Cape forms part of the greater Addo Park. Camping at Woody Cape is possible in a chalet. Thank you for your enthusiasm to explore places properly!
This sounds like a great place to check out. Will add it to the list.
Just take a regular bougieboard down those sand dunes, you will be flying!
Great idea. I will try that. Thanks.
When the sea is rough and it is high tide, the sea washes into this "lake"
This looks very, very similar to the Viking tour bus in Dublin 🤔
Wow amazing ❤
Wow awesome, so good to have this in Cape Town... Never new about it
Yeah, it’s great for Cape Town
How amazing! Will definitely try it the next time we’re at the waterfront 😮🛥️
Definitely worth it.
That super yacht looks amazing, just docking there at the V&A.
Yeah the yachts are crazy huge. They pay hundreds of thousands hating berthing fees.
What an awesome video thank you! Congratulations to you and Luke! Last year I swore I was not going to run CT marathon again, and then I was back again this year to finish my 6th! Was lekker to relive the race again with you guys now!
Well done. I know the feeling. And once you are at 6 you think “I might as well do 7..and 8, and I’m so close to 10…”
Beautiful But that looks more like a secret pond
Very true😂 It was a lot larger the first time we went, but when we came back to film the water had dried up quite a lot. But as a bonus it is nice and warm to swim in🙂
Great video! I was in the 6:28 bus and it’s funny to see all the energetic people on the side of the road, when we passed them they were much less energetic 🤣🤣 more like get done now man loll.
I think k the supporters do get tired too…but nothing like us runners. Well done on finishing. Being on the road for over 6 hours is a big achievwment. 🎉
My German cousin and his wife walked the 16 mile beach. We collected them in the National Park at the end of their walk. That was January this year. My nephew has the Wright's craft gin distillery at the Padstal. Worth a visit.
That’s a great achievement. We will check out your nephew’s place when we next there.
Yes all just click bait . Give gps as could be fake
Location was given at the end of the video 🙂
well put together video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Such a great video! I trained for 6 months leading up to this race, in my final taper week I got the flu (Wednesday prior to race) killed my spirit not being able to race, but I got better to cheer on those who did race the Sunday. Im back up and running, in good spirits for the Winelands race in November 😎
Eish, sorry to hear this. Getting sick before a race is always a great stress. I’ve been blessed to have managed to do 11 Comrades and 10 Two Oceans and not get sick. In the weeks prior I am extra vigilant but still we can get sick. You made the right call by not running. Never run with flu. The Winelands marathon is a little more hilly but it is really beautiful. I love it as a marathon - one of my favorites.
@@africaunexpected Amazing accomplishments for sure!! Will come back to this comment section in a few years to update my resume lol, tha ks for that and yeah, I am looking forward to the hills our there!
Such a great video! Thank you for taking us on the journey. Lovely to see the route, the people, and why people run! Awesome stuff.
Glad you came along for the “run”. It was fun sharing it with you.
You started and finished in high spirits ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🎉🎉🎉🎉. I’m running my first next year. Been training all year and building endurance
It takes a bit to keep the spirits up over such a long run, but was a great event. A long and steady training is really good. Keep it up.
Well done Luke, that was brilliant how you stayed on and on.
Great video! It is always nice to see a race from an individual perspective. Do you mind if we upload it to our channel? Full credit will be given, of course.
Yeah it’s no worries.. you can upload it to your channel
I only managed about 1.5 hours of sleep the night before.
Yeah, that is always the issue. Trying to get sleep when you have to wake up early.
@@africaunexpected I avoided the typical "try sleep early" and went to bed at 11pm. Alarm at 2h30. Just tossed and turned. Doesn't help I was on a blow-up mattress. Lol
definitely running next year!!
It definitely has a huge atmosphere. There are prettier marathons, but this is a winner for atmosphere.
awesome video man
Glad you liked it
Tyred tyred poor David 😂😂
LOLs - He was tyred :-)
This was my first marathon as well, Luke did well 😂🎉
Well done. It's a great marathon to do as a first one. I hope to do it again next year with my son for his first marathon.
Thank you for sharing this adventure, well done Luke, well done everyone!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. Next year, you and the family can join us :-)
Wonder why the incorrect flag was on display you can't change history!
How interesting!

subscribed! You're doing such a good job.
Secret for who?
Great account of that acorn. This I will pass on to my boys, it has a meaning for our family.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Less of a lake and more of a pond
Love the whale❤
Awesome video. Such beauty all around
Definitely not the biggest or highest dune is SA. The Alexandria dune system just north of Gqeberha (Algoa Bay) and the end point of the Eden to Addo Corridor is th biggest in South Africa followed by IsImangaliso Dune System in KZN. These are both 2 of the biggest dune systems in the Southern Hemisphere.
What an incredible story... Wow!
How does a secret coffee shop make money?
Hopefully once the secret is out it will be happy days. The shop has just opened.
When our kids come from Houston in March next year I'm definitely going to insist on visiting Fransch Hoek, and definitely the Mill House coffee shop!!❤
It definitely is worth visiting. The gardens are also beautiful. Well worth walking around.
Very interesting
Hi,what an interesting bit of history.Thanks so much for sharing.
What a fascinating tale, thank you for sharing this.
i love our powder white sand in cape town . when I go to the beach in Durban it doesn't feel right . its like I'm sitting in garden soil lol .... i cannot get over other textures and colours of beach sand that isn't cape town .
The West Coast certainly does have many beaches with stunning soft white sand.
@@africaunexpected I love it! Sorry if I say cape town I mean most of the western cape lol
Beautiful flowers
Biscuits and biltong, ek is 'n Weskus-klong. Beautiful and adventurous for hiking and horse riding as well. Sleepover and "socializing" around the campfire. Mooiloop. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚡🥃🇿🇦
You are so right. There is so much to do, and we are loving exploring the beautiful Weskus! Looking forward to sharing more unexpected places and adventures.
Why would you advertise a secret beach then?
We live in such an awesome country yet most of us sit in our houses everyday and rather watch it on youtube.
So true - I hope people will see these videos and get out there and explore. As I often say in the videos, you can't capture the smells, and feelings - it has to be experienced.
Most of us don't have the money to do something like this. Travel is *prohibitively expensive*.
@@_xiper Thats a fact. I wish we could get a reliable train system that can take us anywhere in the country without spending thousands on petrol.
❤🥳💥
central karoo is where its at ..
Sounds interesting. We will have to come and check it out. Where?
