You cant get any closer then that, otherwise we will call you Cliff Hanger.

Reefz, those are Slingsbys maps, unfortunately about to post the last one we have to Fritz, but I can give you an info map on the Kei coast or would you like me to pm you the details for Slingsbys SA? They dont mind selling a few maps to the public and the price from them is R47 or something...

Gareth thanks for the map bud. If that is the last one then rather give that one to Tony and I will get one from Bassil. Then you dont have to send one down to me.

Take a gaff with you. We have managed to land big sharks with out using the gaffs, but you never know.

Depends what you mean by "fish". I wouldn't bother with a gaff for the eds but non eds definitely! Make sure you know what you are doing because one slip there and you are dead. You will need a super hero to dive into that water and pull you out and I don't think being carried up that hill on a stretcher will be pleasant

Ok maybe I'm being a bit dramatic. If you stick to first ledge its no worse than most other transkei spots 2nd ledge is where things get hairy.

Thamen you guys will be fine dont worry, Half Pint was talking about the second ledge at Brazen Head, the first ledge is safe and there are a lot of places there to scratch etc.

Hi Guys
I purchased my Wildcoast map online from www.slingsby.com a few months ago. The map is awesome as its not only waterproof but even has GPS co-ordinates of of all areas. One person even quoted the map as being like google earth on steroids.
