October is a bit of a hot month for celebrations for us, with three major milestones in Lisa and my life all making an appearance, and if I sneak the 1 Nov into that period it becomes four. Lisa’s birthday is first up, and luckily for her it always falls in the spring school holidaysContinue reading “A cluster of spiders”

Uniquely beautiful
The Capel Nature Reserve was calling me for a little nature boost. And I went there despite looming clouds that threatened a sprinkling of rain, which did eventuated but didn’t dampen my spirits. I parked in a different location this time and wandered off into the bush at some random spot. Hoping that by takingContinue reading “Uniquely beautiful”
A bit too spicy
For quite a while now a couple of work colleagues and I have been trying to organise a date to get out on rock. All three of them have young families so it has been somewhat tricky but we eventually plumped for this weekend, which suited three out of the four of us. Sam hasContinue reading “A bit too spicy”
Crossing my fingers
As to be expected I have been out and about for a wander to look for orchids since our return from overseas. My first jolly in nature was not in fact climbing related, being a walk at Crooked Brook where I drove to full of anticipation of seeing a heap of orchids. You may wonderContinue reading “Crossing my fingers”
A little crustacean
The risk with long weekends is that it can get pretty busy at the crag. But being the last day before I go back to work, after a few weeks off the idea of heading out was just too tempting. And much to Howsie and my surprise we ended up with the cliffs all toContinue reading “A little crustacean”
Enjoying being out
Less than twelve hours after completing the twenty eight hour door to door trip home from the UK I was meeting Rob in the Capel, at the slightly tardy time of eight in the morning. He was a little surprised that I was keen to get out, but I find that getting straight back intoContinue reading “Enjoying being out”
Playing in the Rain
Last year Lisa and I went back to the UK separately at different times and to different locations. This time we went together to spend some time with, and look after, the folks while Seeta, my sister who is there primary carer, took a well-deserved holiday with her family. Both my Mam and Dad willContinue reading “Playing in the Rain”
Unseen but there
It’s been a while since Sarah has joined us for a climb, so we let her pick the location. I was happy when she picked Moses Rocks, which always offers a fun outing. There are two areas of Moses Rocks that she hasn’t climbed at, but the conditions today were not conducive for either ofContinue reading “Unseen but there”
Great expectations
Being early spring I try to temper my expectations when I head out for a wander. This week managing two visits into nature, intentionally squeezing them in as I won’t be out and about as much as usual for a couple of weeks. However, before I managed my first excursion Pat from work, who isContinue reading “Great expectations”
Driving round
A damp forecast resulted in me bailing on a trip to Perth to climb with Mario. The five to six hour round trip for a possibly wet rock experience simply didn’t seem appealing. Instead of the excitement of going somewhere new, and as there was the promise of a dry’ish morning locally, Wilyabrup seemed aContinue reading “Driving round”
