Wednesday. October 27. Day 89.

So we have 1 day left and I really don’t know what to say1 looking back on the road all I can reflect on wa how incredible it has all been! Quite surreal actually!

We spent the day doing admin and getting our clothing washed – which was long overdue. We also managed to wash the van. Puddy and Human spend most of the day at the Hectic 9 studios – a kids program on SABC 2 doing interviews and promoting the tour. We hooked up later with another old friend, Hardus who showed us around town and gave us a good lunch.

Christi and Tertius joined in on the session again but we knocked off after a few k’s to leave the final stretch for Saturday. We will also be visiting the SOS children’s village in Cape Town tomorrow

Once again a great big thank you to all the people who have made this tour possible. It has truly been an amazing trip.

Saturday. October 2. Day 64.

After yesterday’s extreme activities we thought it would be good to stick to some regular skateboarding.

The local skate/surf shop along with local man Clayton organised a small demo and Puddy show cased some of his unique skateboarding skills to the local kids. Thanks to Clayton for setting everything up.

After the demo the locals brought out a huge tarpaulin. Pulling it fast enough the tarpaulin or tarp creates a wave like tube and skater cruise through it as if on a real surfboard. Great fun and laughs were had with this as everyone joined in. Even max gave it a go and took a quite the wipe out when his wheel hooked and he flew forward face first.

That night we watched the game; WP vs. Bulls. Too bad for Cornell as he is a Province fan.

Stefan and his girlfriend joined us at the rad guesthouse called Anne’s Place for a braai and some socializing.

Friday. 1 October. Day 63

BUNDGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Waking up was quite hard this morning as there was so much adrenaline in the air! Today was the big bungee day and every one anticipated this with some fear.

We made our way to the Bloukrans Bridge were we hooked up with Stefan again, He is the guy who hooked us up with Face Adrenaline.

Stefan brought his short boards with as he was going to join Puddy on the road for a session later that day. That and he wanted to Ollie into the bungee which, in the end didn't work out to well as he lost his board.

Pudddy the fearless was up next for the bungee. Afraid at first, he took it like a man and took his skateboard with him. Grabbing his board in a melon grab style he bungeeeeeeeeeeeeeed and is the first guy to do a grab with a skateboard from the Bloukrans bridge.

After the bungee we made out to the highway were Puddy was still to skateinto Plet. Stefan joined in but soon after had to retire due to some fatigue. Puddy kept pushing and we made a total of 25k’s for the day

We are looking forward to the weekend as there are some surf lessons arranged and some more demo skating to be done

Thanks to Stefan Bouwer and Face Adrenaline for making it all possible.

Thursday. September 16. Day 48.

Danger on the road...

We went for the days session but Puddy found the traffic to intimidating and dangerous. There was nou yellw line or shoulder to skate on. So We travelled a distance of 7.8 km’s.

WE drove through to P.E. to sort out accomdation for the next few days and to get a feel for the road to P.E. The Palace Guesthouse sorted us out for one evening after which we transfer to the Protea Hotel.

That night we ate some Pizza on the board walk and discussed tomorrow. The SABC News team are meeting us tomorrow for an interview and to film us skate. This will hopefulle raise more awareness for the cause and push the donations higher.

A massive thanks to James at The Sundowner BB who hooked us up with accommodation the previous two nights.

Tuesday August 31. Day 32

Arose in good spirits ready to skate the 11km stretch into Venterstad. Last night some Venter- stad Township locals invited us over to their side of town. It was amazing to see how they embraced our cause and supported it wholeheartedly. The day was another scorcher making us really aware of summers presence here in the middle of the country. The road surface has finally taken a turn for the best and we are once again rolling over much smoother tar.

Taking the R58 through Venterstad we turned left onto the R390 leading to Steynsburg. James joined in on the skating providing Puddy with some welcoming company. He ended on 30km for the day which marked a total of710km's on SFC 2010. A Real triumph for Puddy and the crew.

Tomorrow is Puddy’s day off. Looking forward to resting his legs and preparing for the road
