Stuffed jalapenos

The theory was for Lisa and I to head up to Wellington National Park for a wander, overnight camp and then hit a second walk tomorrow. But plans change. It was not that we were put off by the fact that it had bucketed down the night before, the forecast from this morning onwards lookedContinue reading “Stuffed jalapenos”

There she blows

Walking back into Wilyabrup today it looked like we might have lucked out. We were heading to Driftwood Bay as Rongy had never climbed there. Despite having been out here top rope soloing only last weekend I was of course happy to return. The place has a charm to it, one that resonates with meContinue reading “There she blows”

Turf-n-surf

All fired up after a couple of great walks and good number of orchids under my belt, I decided to test what the home turf had on offer. So jumping over the back wall of our garden I trudged through the small reserve to see what I could find. There were lots of Pink FairyContinue reading “Turf-n-surf”

Counting steps

Having lived in this area for close to fifteen years you would have thought we would have hunted out the local spots to go for a wander. However, there are still a few places left for us to explore, one being Wellington National Park. I have climbed here, way too many times, in fact itContinue reading “Counting steps”

Flower power

While I realise this isn’t about climbing or snorkelling I didn’t feel there was any harm in diversifying the topics of my blog. So after coming across my first orchid of the season down at Wilyabrup yesterday I thought Lisa and I should do something we haven’t done for a while and that was goContinue reading “Flower power”

Happy holidays

Finally the school holidays have arrived! And seeing my trip back to the UK had to be cancelled I am staying home for the two weeks, as we are being told at work that we have to keep using our leave. While many are complaining about this I don’t mind a couple of weeks atContinue reading “Happy holidays”

Seventies style

This morning started in a house full of stairs, it was a house on stilts high above the ocean and the water below was angry and menacing with crashing waves. I found a strange shaped bottle of what looked to be a boutique beer, and downed it. Unbeknown to me it was made from magicContinue reading “Seventies style”

Going solo, but not alone

After two sessions of pulling plastic over the last week I have been feeling pretty whacked, and while I’ve highlighted the two boulder sessions there are probably a few factors at play. So when there seemed little chance of anyone else being available to head out this weekend, I was undecided. But my rock fetishContinue reading “Going solo, but not alone”

Farewell to winter

September marks the start of spring and so Rongy came up with the idea of having a winter food farewell feast. One last gorge on all that comfort food that is so welcoming on a cold wintery day, before we supposedly transition to the more healthy options that we are more likely to go forContinue reading “Farewell to winter”

The spider monkeys

Howsie sent me the list of grade 20s still left to bag after our trip to Wilyabrup last weekend, and seeing we had a week of dry’ish weather ahead of us I suggested a short jaunt up to Welly Dam might be in order. With five lines still on the list from this location itContinue reading “The spider monkeys”
