The plans were all set for a foray up to Welly Dam last weekend, but they fell apart. I instead had a very unusual day, for me, of lying on the sofa and watching TV. This lasted the whole day, as my body resisted any notion of getting up and doing anything. This made meContinue reading “Odyssey”

A swell time
The exciting news is that yesterday Lisa and I headed to Perth to pick a few bits up, and maximised the use of our time there by going to Rock Face indoor climbing gym. Where Lisa checked out some climbing shoes. With one big toe being fused and the other having bad osteoarthritis, it hasContinue reading “A swell time”
One more climb please
This week has been glorious. Beautiful warm sunny days and all that was supposed to change as the weekend commenced. If I was a conspiracist, I would think that some higher being was purposely throwing the poorer conditions at us on weekends when the majority of the population don’t work. But I’m not and addedContinue reading “One more climb please”
Rocks in our heads
Some would say we were a little nuts while others might say we had rocks in our head, the latter being maybe a little true but the former not so much. Admittedly when we had set the date for this camping and climbing trip, many months back, we had not envisaged that we would haveContinue reading “Rocks in our heads”
Bleedin’ trees
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”
