South Coast Gems

South Coast Gems

The South African South Coast has a lot more to offer than many people may think. We’ve spent many a happy holiday in Ramsgate, and there is always a list of places I have to visit when in the area. But why keep these little gems to myself? 2020 was a tough year for everyone, and we’ve done our best to support small businesses. So in continuing with this trend, here is a list of a few of the great spots we’ve found in the Ramsgate area.

Dusi 69

Dusi 69

The 69th annual Dusi Canoe Marathon was held from 27 to 29 February 2020. The Dusi is a canoeing marathon which covers roughly 120km between the cities of Pietermaritzburg and Durban and is the biggest canoeing event on the African continent. It attracts athletes from around the world.

The race takes place over 3 days, and is 3 stages of approximately 40km per day of canoeing or portaging (walking / running with your boat) where the rivers are not passable.

Behind the scenes there is always a support team required….

During the December break, just after Christmas, we went on a road-trip through our beautiful country stopping in Durban, Underberg and Ramsgate before heading back home to Joburg.
