Running out of time

Getting up at 3:30am to go to my closest crag reminded me of 2016. Howsie and I worked in the same building, different organisations but cohoused, and we hit upon the idea of having a before work climb once a week. After all, Welly Dam was a mere half hour drive from the office soContinue reading “Running out of time”

A one horse race

Fresh from my week long trip down south I was busting to hit the local crags, and in response to my call out Glen, Jamie and Ash all stuck their hands up for a bit of adventure. I knew immediately it wouldn’t be a trip of bagging lot so routes, nor anything necessarily hard. ButContinue reading “A one horse race”

South Coast Revisited

In March 2008 Andrew, Howsie, Rongy And I set off for a weeklong trip to the South Coast. It was for them the first long climbing trip, and while it does not come up in regular conversation it is something that stuck in their minds. I discovered just how much that trip meant to themContinue reading “South Coast Revisited”

Ten years on

It was close to ten years to the date that the three of us first stayed at the Mount Trio Bush Camp in the Stirling Ranges. On that first visit, in the school holidays, the place felt deserted and in subsequent years word of mouth did its job and the place got busier and busier. Continue reading “Ten years on”

The reward

For those that have been following my posts you will know that Craig and I don’t bother with birthday presents, instead opting to take each other out for a climb. Craig jested that maybe I should find a climb that is the same grade as half my age, and I knew exactly what he wasContinue reading “The reward”

Creepy crawlies

I’ve been told off once or twice before when I have included an image of something that some people have been less than comfortable with seeing without prior notice. So this is an upfront warning that there is a bug or two in this one, including one of our eight legged friends. Yesterday I handedContinue reading “Creepy crawlies”

Set your alarm clocks

With only a few months left this year Howsie was in need of a boost to keep his 2020 challenge on track, so we headed down to Wilyabrup to allow him to tick off a couple more 20s from his list. And as predicted last week the starts are getting earlier, as he suggested meetingContinue reading “Set your alarm clocks”

Slow and steady

With one day left before Lisa and I head back to work, after a great relaxing two weeks off, Craig and I headed out for a climb. I groaned a bit when he suggested a 5:30 pickup time at his house, and dreading the drive out in the dark I was a little surprised thatContinue reading “Slow and steady”

Fire and water

Over this last couple of weeks I have inundated you with posts, however both Lisa and I will be back at work next week. That means there will be less time for adventures and of course less posts coming through. Being the last weekend of our holidays we headed back to Wellington National Park, withContinue reading “Fire and water”

Heading to shore

Today Lisa was feeling much better but we didn’t head up to the forests, instead the poodles got a well-deserved beach walk. During term time they get walked practically every day, but this holiday their walks have been less frequent. So they were hankering to get down for a run. Walking down towards the beachContinue reading “Heading to shore”
