Clash of the Titans

For those old enough to remember when the original film came out in 1981. It’s more engaging story and the iconic cinematography of the day means it well and truly trumps the modern 2010 remake. The newer film heavily relied on CGI for impact, taking away from the plot and resulting in a cookie cutterContinue reading “Clash of the Titans”

Who’s watching who

With no one able to make it out on rock over the weekend and not feeling like a solo mission I was at a bit of a loose end. Typing up my finds from earlier in the week Lisa headed down to the beach for her weekly bob with the Peppy Plungers. Sending me imagesContinue reading “Who’s watching who”

Bad hair days

I’ve said it before but it has been somewhat of a shocker of a snorkelling season, which I now say with a pinch of salt. I had to search through my images to help with this post. While it is true that I have not been in the water anywhere near as much as usual,Continue reading “Bad hair days”

Roof climbing

I’ve banged on about phrases from the homelands enough. So this time, for a change, I’ll start today with one from Australia. Some may recall the term being used by a prominent character from Australia’s longest running soap opera, which in four days’ time will have its 41st anniversary. While the use of the termContinue reading “Roof climbing”

The moon and stars

One of my favourite lines from any film is ‘keep to the road, stay clear of the moors, and beware of the full moon’. And in case you are not aware of the flick, it comes from the early 80s classic ‘An American Werewolf in London’. This came out a couple of years before MichaelContinue reading “The moon and stars”

Little Shop of Horrors

When arranging today’s adventure, I asked Howsie what time he’d like to meet and then didn’t think anything of it. This saw us beat first light by a good twenty minutes, as we rolled into our destination. With a mere waxing crescent 5% full moon it was still dark, allowing us a glorious sight ofContinue reading “Little Shop of Horrors”

Dusting off

My last post of a dive was over six weeks back; an unusual abstinence for watery activities for this time of year. Up until March the image library for each successive year would normally be filled with more underwater than above water imagery. I did have a sneaky snorkel a week after the last oneContinue reading “Dusting off”

Snooze you lose

After the long thirty-two hour trip back from the homelands, this morning was day two of waking up in Western Australia time. It felt much harder to rouse and get going today than it did yesterday. As a person who is normally up early and ready to go as soon as I wake up, itContinue reading “Snooze you lose”

Cochleae cordis

Nine months can fly past to the point that if you sneezed you might just miss it. During my last trip to the homelands at the tail end of, a very flowery, British spring time I sneezed a lot due to a bad bout of hay fever. This time I hoped that would not beContinue reading “Cochleae cordis”

Mostly sensible

Last time I visited England, Dave and I only managed an afternoon hike. During which he mentioned he had considered taking me for a walk round Windgather Rocks. The short 12m rock face is claimed to be one of the friendliest and most popular climbing crags in the Peak District. It has been a favouriteContinue reading “Mostly sensible”
