Time Slips Beneath Our Feet
Original price was: R99,00.R79,00Current price is: R79,00.
“It is a common enough experience; the older one is the quicker the days fly by. Exploring again the Klein Karoo, we became very aware of how time was slipping beneath our feet. Everywhere we went we were reminded of earlier journeys, of times when, as we set out to see the world, our lives, like Audrey Hepburn’s Moon River, lay stretched before us. We now had all but reached its end, but today was sweet and we fretted neither about the past, nor what lay ahead.”
Thus reads the beginning of the Preface to this, Bartle Logie’s 12th Eastern/Western Cape Travel Book. “Time Slips” follows Bartle’s proven formula of intense research, both in the study and on the ground, coupled with an easy, conversational writing style, which invites the reader to join him and wife Caryl at their fire-side.

Travels with 20/20 Vision
Published on 2023
Original price was: R109,00.R89,00Current price is: R89,00.
Adventurer, historian and raconteur Bartle Logie’s normal research pattern involves intensive deskbound research, accompanied by meticulously following the route of the planned narrative in the trusty Isuzu. However, this was not to be for this his 10th book – those plans hit a major snag in 2020: the Coronavirus Pandemic.
As he puts it: “Making plans is all very well, but we were no sooner on our way than we were faced with the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and associated lockdown. This resulted in enforced ‘virtual’ travel while seated at home in a comfortable chair. Ultimately, in dribs and drabs, the journey was completed in reality, but unlike any other that we have undertaken.”
However, this has not in any way detracted from this eminently readable story of the history, people, flora and fauna of the Garden Route and the Langkloof – among South Africa’s most beautiful and fascinating regions – told in Bartle Logie’s easy, highly personal fireside style.
