July is hotting up, relatively speaking. So much so that we haven’t had the home fires burning this week. This meant the thought of a morning climb at Welly Dam didn’t bring on the same level of fear of freezing winter conditions. Howsie and my fortnightly visits to this hallowed place have been somewhat disruptedContinue reading “The spidermen”

Two dozen please
It’s not like me to arrive late, but today it felt like I did. Despite arriving bang on the hour we had agreed to, both Mario and Craig were already parked up, packed up, and ready to walk in. To be fair Mario had arrived half an hour early so he could scoff some breakfast,Continue reading “Two dozen please”
Somewhere to hangout
In 1546 John Heywood’s collection of proverbs was published in A Dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the Prouerbes in the Englishe tongue. This work included ‘whan the sunne shinth make hay’, and yes I have got the spelling right. It’s origins were very literal being related to the best time to cutContinue reading “Somewhere to hangout”
Closing up shop
Most of us are lucky and the ups and downs of life, which cycle in response to so many factors, do not generally interfere with our ability to crack on with life. This week however the behaviour of one particular individual at work, who should know better, got my blood boiling. An overreaction some mayContinue reading “Closing up shop”
Disco inferno
They say a positive attitude drives success. So after work rather than pound the streets of Peppy Beach, and with a spring in my step, I went for a walk round Manea Park. The circuit I took involved moments of wandering, connected by periods of pounding. With a view of getting the benefit of slightlyContinue reading “Disco inferno”
The spiders are coming
After all the hiking and climbing last weekend, my body was telling me that a quiet time was in order. Saturday was whiled away with housework and finishing off yet another puzzle, and not much else to be honest. By Sunday however my body decided it needed a stretch. Or was it just me wantingContinue reading “The spiders are coming”
Kalbarri Gold
It really was the furthest thought from my mind, as Rongy and I made our way towards the Z-Bend lookout at Kalbarri National Park (https://sandbagged.blog/2026/08/03/kalbarri-bronze/). So much so that I wasn’t looking out for them, and it was Rongy who spotted the first orchid. Just another Cowslip you may be thinking. After all when theseContinue reading “Kalbarri Gold”
Kalbarri Bronze
It was just under nine years back that I made the eight hour journey north to Kalbarri (https://sandbagged.blog/2017/11/10/the-proclaimers/). Back then it was with Mark. A buddy from my Alice Springs days, who climbed like an unforgiving machine. The nine day adventure resulted in a crazy and long list of unrelenting hard routes. Proving too muchContinue reading “Kalbarri Bronze”
The earth movers
Due to other commitments, there was limited time to get out and about today. While Lisa was bobbing in the ocean I was in need of a dose of nature to help me make it through the social conventions that lay ahead. A quick walk round the Capel Nature Reserve was just the ticket. ConsideringContinue reading “The earth movers”
The star of the show
With a pretty average forecast threatening to ruin any chance of outdoor fun later in the week, Howsie and I did a bit of calendar juggling to allow us to nip up the hill for a quick session on Wednesday afternoon. While inclement weather was approaching we have just had an unseasonal warm spell, soContinue reading “The star of the show”
