It felt like it had been forever since I had climbed at Wilyabrup, but looking back it has only been a mere two months. On that trip we climbed with three. Ash, having his first bash at trad leading, and Jaime happy to second up nearly anything. Today I headed back with Tomski and Jaime,Continue reading “One too many”

Driving home from work on Tuesday it felt warm and the leaves on the trees weren’t showing any signs of movement. So before pulling into our driveway I did a quick loop up over the hill to see what the water was looking like. Flat and clear, so it seemed, so I got home kittedContinue reading “More reading material”
Barren ground
Midweek, on arrival home from the climbing trip down south it was unusually humid. Cloud hung in the sky each day and it felt sticky. It seems that our summer and now autumn will continue to be a bit out of character. Humidity is the type of weather that I struggle with, making me feelContinue reading “Barren ground”
Battling the elements
Almost a year in the making and Rongy and I were ready to hit the road, the reason for such a long period of planning being that this five day trip was to celebrate a soon to arrive major birthday of his. But also it had started off with grand plans to head to ArapilesContinue reading “Battling the elements”
Autumn arrives
Just in case you were wondering why there was no post of my underwater adventures last weekend. I did head out but despite the water looking calm, underneath it was a whole other story. There had been some strong winds and swells, up to 4m, in Geographe Bay and the outcome being there was veryContinue reading “Autumn arrives”
Watching the clock
The mural on Wellington Dam was officially unveiled a week back, and today being the start of a long weekend there would no doubt be an onslaught of tourist driving by to take a look. Being still early as I rolled past, I had the place to myself so I took a couple of quickContinue reading “Watching the clock”
The power of positive thinking
After a few weeks of hitting the bolted walls at Welly Dam it was time to get back onto the coastal crags for a bit of trad. There was a bit of committing and bailing to heading out by a certain party, and in the end Craig did join Jamie and I on a tripContinue reading “The power of positive thinking”
Déjà vu
The same troop of us headed out past The Point as last time and as we drove out we finally came across a bay that was free cars. Each bay seemed to have occupants already set up, and in the bay we chose we were nestled between two parties. Behind us a couple were fishingContinue reading “Déjà vu”
A splash of colour
I’ve only had one full week of work since mid-December and that was working from home, so it really didn’t feel like a full week with all the snorkels I got in. This week was also short, as Lisa and I drove up to Perth to help our daughter settle in at University. As aContinue reading “A splash of colour”
Not one to give up
Ever hopeful that the five day lockdown was enough to abate an increase in community spreading of the virus, we organised a trip to Welly Dam for Saturday morning. It wasn’t until the bells tolled at six o’clock Friday evening did we were whether our planned trip would be allowed to go ahead. Fortune wasContinue reading “Not one to give up”
