Another glorious week but one I didn’t manage to make the most of, only getting out for one after work walk. I was hoping to nick out on Friday but not being one to leave things lying unattended to at least squirrelled away in my calendar, with the promise of getting to it by aContinue reading “A rookie mistake”

The Christening
The timing was perfect. Allowing me to pull over onto the verge and watch the sunrise, just before turning onto Wilyabrup Road. This meant it would not be a first light start on rock. Adrian had already hinted at being happy with a cruisy day, having been climbing at Bobs Hollow yesterday. No prior plansContinue reading “The Christening”
Tipping the scales
With an extra day in hand to get into nature this working week, and considering I have not touched rock once in September, you may be surprised to hear that I opted not to climb today. I could be pleased with myself for showing restrain in not going too hard, to avoid the risk ofContinue reading “Tipping the scales”
The Race
This post starts where it ends. The last find I have included made we go back in time, which like last week resulted in me uploading not one but two new but quite old posts. They go way back to 2010 and 2011. The reason being is that is where my orchid fascination started, fifteenContinue reading “The Race”
My favourite
In keeping up with our promise to each other for regular trips, Lisa and I had a night away booked for last weekend. It turned out to be a bit of a wash out in several ways. Regardless of that we still enjoyed being away, and a changed environment always helps to recharge the batteries. Continue reading “My favourite”
A complete unknown
Was I hoping that now spring had arrived, I might get away without catching one of the many bugs that have been going round. I had done well despite people dropping like flies round me and Lisa’s best efforts by bringing bugs home for weeks on end. But no, although not taking hold till FridayContinue reading “A complete unknown”
Smile for the camera
The climbing this morning was on occasion interrupted by text messages flying between John and I about his book. He was busy with last minute edits. Telling me how he was thinking of dealing with my comments, as well as a few other oddities that I had picked up. I was just arriving at theContinue reading “Smile for the camera”
Leave me alone
Getting ready for a wander this morning with thoughts of a near three quarter of an hour drive, my plans were scuppered. My own doing. I started messaging John, which saw me doing a bit more editing of his near complete book of moderate climbs in Australia. English language was my worse subject at school,Continue reading “Leave me alone”
Playing catch-up
We are creeping toward the end of winter and into spring, with only a week left. No doubt this will result in a higher chance of me bumping into others out hunting orchids in my local haunts. The south west of Western Australia is well known for its diversity of orchids, and it attracts avidContinue reading “Playing catch-up”
Snug as a bug
Due to Howsie having changed his job he is now working a five days a week. This has scuppered our geologically focused weekday excursions, which we were lucky to have enjoyed for quite some time. However, with the return of Rongy and Sarah from their near twenty months of travel, the chance to squeeze inContinue reading “Snug as a bug”
