About Us

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE WE ARE IN CAPE TOWN OTHER THAN TO MENTION CAMPS WE ARE STAYING IN, THIS BLOG WILL BE DORMANT UNTIL WE LEAVE UP THE W COAST IN MAY Entertainer Derek Gordon along with wife Christel, brother-in-law photographer Bernd Weimar and "hond" Jack the Russell are off on a minimum one year motorhome tour of the country. It has been a lifetime ambition to undertake this trip, put off many,many times, but come May 5th 2011, now a reality It is our intention to head up the East coast, Wild coast and into N.Kwa Zulu Natal. From there we will cross Umpumalanga into Botswana and eventually Namibia. Finally we head down the West coast back to Cape Town. The trip should take a year but that is not a factor. If we like a place we stay, if not we move on. I will attempt to do shows where and whenever I can as well as selling our artworks and T-Shirts at Farmers and Arts and Crafts markets as we go. It is not our intention to make money but merely subsidise our expenses. Follow this blog to find out where we are, who we've met, where we've stayed and how much its cost. We remain contactable by email at dpgordon@webmail.co.za

SILVER LEGENDS EXPLANATION

NB: Explanation to the term SILVER LEGENDS

About 3 months ago while planning our trip I read with interest a letter to CARAVAN & OUTDOOR LIFE Magazine, an article written by a gentleman obviously over 60 who objected to being reffered to as a "pensioner, senior citizen and the like. He preferred the term "Silver Legend" His rationale for this was that if one needed help with something while camping or indeed needed to know something about the area in which you were located, it is pointless to ask a young couple in their brand new 4x4 pulling the latest inovation in 4x4 trailers behind them with 2 weeks camping experience. NO NO you ask a more experienced camper armed with 40 years of knowledge .... you ask a SILVER LEGEND. We wholeheartedly agree with him. We are not pensioners. old farts, toppies etc we are indeed SILVER LEGENDS !! and hereby take up his fight.
