Weighing up the risk

With a cyclone bearing down on the northern parts of Western Australia a weather change was on the cards for us too. Clouds were forming in the sky, the temperature was dropping by double digits, the winds however were not changing and if anything seemed to be less intense that previous weeks. I chanced aContinue reading “Weighing up the risk”

Join the queue

The group of climbers on our South West WhatsApp group has had a bit of a growth spurt recently, and this includes a few new to climbing and a number of non-trad climbers. A few of these people have expressed an interest in trying trad climbing, and I’ve put it out there that I’m happyContinue reading “Join the queue”

The brass band

The easterlies looked to be easing after another bout of strong winds so Lisa, Geoff, Esky and myself decided on a local snorkel off Wave Walk. Yesterday, as I returned home from climbing, I had taken a quick detour to check what was happening with the water and from my vantage point while it wasContinue reading “The brass band”

“C’mon arms, do your stuff”

It’s the last Friday that I will be taking off during my work a four day week January, and Rongy and Jaime joined me for a climb and hopefully snorkel down at Cosy Corner. As we were driving down, at what Jaime suggested was something akin to “stupid o’clock”, I was trying to tally upContinue reading ““C’mon arms, do your stuff””

Avoiding the crowds

Day two of getting out, it’s shaping up to be a fun long weekend! Today would be a little different. For starters we were driving towards Busselton for a 7am meet which is late in my books, and secondly Lisa was joining us. As we drove the back way we passed the floodgates and hereContinue reading “Avoiding the crowds”

The perfect playground

I am still in “work a four day week” January, so decided once more to bail on the boys and not join them in the early morning Welly Dam session. I’ll probably do the same again next Friday. With a bit more time on my hand I returned to Smith’s Beach, this time with Jaime. Continue reading “The perfect playground”

On closer inspection

Last night we were invited for a drink and catch up at friends round the corner. It was during the evening, and after staying at this social event far longer than I would normally, that a discussion kicked off about going for a snorkel. Esky and I were keen and we talked Dan into comingContinue reading “On closer inspection”

The sensible choice

With 2021 rolling in, Howsie must have been feeling the need to get a bit fitter to prepare him as best possible for the challenge of attempting all of the grade 21s in the South West. I say this as he suggested that we rekindle the early morning before work climb, up at Welly Dam. Continue reading “The sensible choice”

Something old and something new

Happy New Year and here’s hoping 2021 is a little more smooth sailing than 2020. While Lisa and I stayed up till midnight, and beyond, it was not really to see the old year out and new one in. Elseya was off to a party and we had offered to be a taxi service forContinue reading “Something old and something new”

Heavy traffic

I’d previously been told about some good territory located off the beach at Stratham, which is about halfway to Bunbury as the crow flies. So today I ventured there, and while I could have driven on the beach to get to the spot I opted for a walk. After all being on holiday I’ve gotContinue reading “Heavy traffic”
