Fish Hoek Beach- Don’t Blame The Sharks!

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Russell Hepworth

I am normally upbeat about Fish Hoek, its a nice place to live, and I chose it over a number of other places in the world. Sometimes though a minority of it's citizens can send me over the edge and make me question the thought processes of my fellow residents. There is a lot of debate on the Cape Point Peninsula, and Fish Hoek in particular about the use of shark nets to m...

Shark Nets At Fish Hoek Beach

Posted on February 29, 2012February 29, 2012 by Russell Hepworth

I guess that it was inevitable that the negative publicity surrounding a recent shark attack would lead to shark nets at Fish Hoek beach. Tourism is in a general slump in the area which is inevitably having a knock effect for the rest of the economy. Certainly the portrayal of Fish Hoek beach as being a place that you will get eaten by a great white shark will not have h...

Things have been a little busy with work so I havn't been out and about much recently, and I can't imagine that you would like an account of the inside of my workshop.

Longbeach Mall- Why all the empty units?

Posted on April 25, 2011April 25, 2011 by Russell Hepworth

I don't often go to the mall, for me it is the most effective waste of my time imaginable. However, occasionally I have a need for something and have to drag myself there. Many times I just walk from the eastern entrance up to pick and pay. On Sunday I was with D and it was raining heavily so we parked in the underground. We needed to go to Pick and Pay and the photo shop on th...

Hello all Since the weather looked like it was going to close in and rain was likely I decided to make the most of it this morning and take one of my favorite short walks: Peer's Cave from the Fish Hoek side. This is one of my favorite short walks in the area and you are more than adequately rewarded for your efforts with fantastic views of the valley. It was especially g...
