It was obvious what trees we might see today on our walk, when Lisa and I set off to check out the Bridgetown Jarrah Park, and they get a bit more of a mention in this post that previous ones. This place has a series of loop walks that it is possible to link together,Continue reading “Bleedin’ trees”

Flight of the phoenix
It was the dawn of another day, and being a Saturday the sun found me walking into Wilyabrup with Rongy. Last weekend I didn’t touch rock so was just a little bit keen to get out, and there was also another focus for today’s session. Over the winter months most of the climbing has beenContinue reading “Flight of the phoenix”
The safety net
It is the last weekend of the winter school holidays, which is both good and bad. It meant another three day weekend for me but also signals that next week Lisa heads back to the classroom. At least it won’t be another gruelling eleven week term for her like the last one. Today we headedContinue reading “The safety net”
Taking a break
Andrew hasn’t been out all that much in recent years and he is currently also sporting a pulley injury, which like most climbing injuries was a result of playing on the artificial stuff and not while out on the real stuff. So for today’s foray we were after some easy grades on enjoyable lines, andContinue reading “Taking a break”
Passing the test
Friday the rain came down in torrents and it was all very uninviting, and they reckon Monday there will be a bigger front coming. But the weekend promised two reasonable days between the big storms that have been bashing the south west of Western Australia. So Lisa and I decided we would head out whileContinue reading “Passing the test”
True colours
The school holidays are upon us and I normally take a day off here and there while Lisa is on leave. It looks like we will have a proper wintery school holiday this year, and this mornings’ walk on the beach was cold and blustery. Not that there was much of the beach to walkContinue reading “True colours”
Winter treat
The winter school holidays have arrived, and after an exhausting and long eleven week term I thought I would allow Lisa a quiet morning at home. One without me fussing about making her feel like she needed to get up and get stuff done. After leaving the obligatory thermos mug of tea on her bedsideContinue reading “Winter treat”
The early riser
Friday heralded the day that I, along with approx. 180,000 other people in Australia, completed the 25 day push-up challenge. I was encouraged by Pat, a work colleague, to join the movement. I had not trained for it and the only exercise I’d been doing was my weekend climbs, so it certainly took a tollContinue reading “The early riser”
The George Michael effect
A year back Rongy would have been one of the regulars to join me on my weekend adventures, but of late life has got in the way. Today however after months of not having touched real rock he was free and keen. In deciding where to head I had noted of Steve’s recent suggestion ofContinue reading “The George Michael effect”
Contrasting conditions
Winter brings cold mornings that often feel all the colder at our only local inland crag of Welly Dam. We knew the start would be a chilly one. We were however hopeful for good conditions after a lovely warm sunny Saturday, followed by a clear sky on Sunday morning with a glorious sunrise. While weContinue reading “Contrasting conditions”
