Tourist attraction

On a lazy Sunday morning at 7:15, while most would be tucked up in bed, Howsie and Rongy had both followed me up Hope.  The forecast during the week had indicated that Sunday would be the better day to head out.  As it was Saturday was glorious and Lisa and I went for a longContinue reading “Tourist attraction”

Stiff as a board

It was that time of the year again when Craig can claim to be yet another year older.  And for some strange folks like us there is no greater gift we can give or hope to receive than a day out on rock.  It keeps things easy and there is none of this need orContinue reading “Stiff as a board”

A well deserved treat

Normally on my early drives to Capel, to meet up with whoever is mad enough to endure an early start, I need to look out for roos.  Today I didn’t see any, but I did come across a couple of escaped cows.  Being a lot easier to spot and also much slower there was noContinue reading “A well deserved treat”

Peer pressure

Having recently finished his business course Steve was keen to get out, and when he posted about it Alan and I jumped at the chance to assist Steve in achieve that goal.  Then during our weekly plastic pulling session on my boulder wall I thought I had managed to convince Geoff to also venture outContinue reading “Peer pressure”

Learning new skills

It was time to head back to an old favourite, and Rongy was keen to join in the fun when Alan and I started to lay the plans for a morning foray at Moses Rocks.  The times got mucked about with, and there was a bit of banter as the plans were rearranged via WhatsApp. Continue reading “Learning new skills”

ELO

I rolled into Howsie’s driveway at the agreed time, and he came out through the gate staring at me and the wet windscreen with an expectant look.  It had been dry for most of the morning, until an hour before I was due to head out.  Driving into Bunbury to pick him up it hadContinue reading “ELO”

Feeling salty

I should start this with a happy birthday to Andrew!  He put out a post to say he was heading up to Welly Dam for a climb and BBQ on his birthday and he managed to bag a magical day.  Being his birthday he suggested a 9am start time, which was pretty sensible as evenContinue reading “Feeling salty”

The passenger

Today Alan had kindly offered to pick me up from home.  Living in Peppy Beach that required braving the country roads, which at the agreed time of the day was likely to be crawling (or hopping) with roos.  That didn’t put him off and so for a change my car stayed in the driveway.  SeeingContinue reading “The passenger”

Something to come back for

A month or more back Howsie had been camping at Denmark on a family trip. During a walk with the family he stumbled across a rock face and after staring at it in wonder for ages, he finally found what he was looking for. There were bolts… and after he posted about them on ourContinue reading “Something to come back for”

Humble pie time

After a fun social day at home playing on the boulder wall in our shed, and watching Wiggins’ latest video, I organised with Rongy to head out on the Sunday afternoon for a quick dash up to Welly Dam.  Saturday night the strong front had had been forecast for Saturday finally came through with CollieContinue reading “Humble pie time”
