My last, what I would call successful, snorkel was when I abandoned our local beach and headed to Bunbury to escape the South Western Stingers (stingers). That was not quite four weeks back, but it feel like so much longer. It may feel so much longer, as I have taken leave from work during thisContinue reading “Sleep swimming”

Finger licking
Being January it is the summer school holiday and Lisa is enjoying the time off. I also tend to ease into the new year with four day weeks, allowing my January to be a bit more relaxed. It has become a bit of a tradition, and the three day weekends are very welcome. It’s aContinue reading “Finger licking”
A welcome change
When Lisa and I came to Australia we spent a lot of time going out bush camping, walking and climbing. Not just in Central Australia, where we lived for close to five years, but also travelling to Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. Something that struck us was that everywhere we went, no matter how remoteContinue reading “A welcome change”
Kicking myself
It seems to be becoming a bit of a broken record when I say I headed out with Mario during his road to recovery. With a succession of injuries having plagued him during 2021, his New Year wish should be pretty obvious. Today was his first roped climb since we headed out to Mount Cuthbert,Continue reading “Kicking myself”
Hazard control
Christmas Day crept up on us. The household no longer explodes into feverish excitement at the first sign of light, eager to see if the big man had been. So I was hoping to have a morning dip. Although, after a quick walk over the dunes to check the conditions, it was clear that itContinue reading “Hazard control”
Cooling off time
The temperatures have been soaring in the south west of Western Australia over Christmas, and with a week of hot days forecast some might question the sense in heading out for a climb. It was already 26 degrees when I left the house at 4:30, making me think that a 5:30 meet at the carparkContinue reading “Cooling off time”
One more sleep to go
With the summer solstice having passed a couple of days ago it’s all downhill from here, with regards to our days getting shorter. Not that this will affect our Friday mornings for a while. It is already bright way before we arrive. And the sun is already tipping over the horizon, bathing the treetops inContinue reading “One more sleep to go”
It goes without saying
I guess it goes without saying that if you’ve been throwing up all morning the last thing you want to do is cling off a rock face. So when I was a mere ten minutes away from picking Ash up, and he messaged me to say that was how his morning had been, it wasContinue reading “It goes without saying”
The X factor
Over the last two weeks I have not posted anything about my climbing antics, but that is not to say I haven’t been getting out. The early morning Friday climbs at Welly Dam have occurred, start at 5am which has allowed for a solid session before work calls us. Two weeks back Howsie and IContinue reading “The X factor”
The shooting star
Over the last week I was hoping to dip in and out of the ocean after work, but as it was I only managed two snorkels. The first was in crystal clear waters, as the image below shows. Sadly the easterlies then started to come in, and when I went for the second dip theContinue reading “The shooting star”
