Well I didn’t manage a snorkel every workday this week, and in truth I’m not sure why. The winds were predicted to be up so I was sceptical about my chances. However, from early on each morning before it was light I listened out to get an idea of what the winds were actual upContinue reading “Playing hide and seek”

No complaints
Not that I’m complaining, as what we are going through really is a drop in the ocean compared to so many other people round the world, but we have after all our months of freedom gone into a five day lockdown. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets extended and if that happen the timingContinue reading “No complaints”
Trying to focus
Seeing I had bouldered on my indoor wall on Wednesday and then climbed at Welly Dam before work on Friday, I had already decided that I needed to rest up from climbing this weekend leaving me two whole days to get some snorkelling in. Geoff and I were hoping to go in for a dipContinue reading “Trying to focus”
Precognition
Being woken by the alarm at 3:45 made me wonder what I was thinking when I said I would meet Howsie and Rongy up at Welly Dam for a before work climb. My mind nor body was ready for such a rude awakening and if it wasn’t for the full moon, most of the journeyContinue reading “Precognition”
Weighing up the risk
With a cyclone bearing down on the northern parts of Western Australia a weather change was on the cards for us too. Clouds were forming in the sky, the temperature was dropping by double digits, the winds however were not changing and if anything seemed to be less intense that previous weeks. I chanced aContinue reading “Weighing up the risk”
Join the queue
The group of climbers on our South West WhatsApp group has had a bit of a growth spurt recently, and this includes a few new to climbing and a number of non-trad climbers. A few of these people have expressed an interest in trying trad climbing, and I’ve put it out there that I’m happyContinue reading “Join the queue”
The brass band
The easterlies looked to be easing after another bout of strong winds so Lisa, Geoff, Esky and myself decided on a local snorkel off Wave Walk. Yesterday, as I returned home from climbing, I had taken a quick detour to check what was happening with the water and from my vantage point while it wasContinue reading “The brass band”
“C’mon arms, do your stuff”
It’s the last Friday that I will be taking off during my work a four day week January, and Rongy and Jaime joined me for a climb and hopefully snorkel down at Cosy Corner. As we were driving down, at what Jaime suggested was something akin to “stupid o’clock”, I was trying to tally upContinue reading ““C’mon arms, do your stuff””
Avoiding the crowds
Day two of getting out, it’s shaping up to be a fun long weekend! Today would be a little different. For starters we were driving towards Busselton for a 7am meet which is late in my books, and secondly Lisa was joining us. As we drove the back way we passed the floodgates and hereContinue reading “Avoiding the crowds”
The perfect playground
I am still in “work a four day week” January, so decided once more to bail on the boys and not join them in the early morning Welly Dam session. I’ll probably do the same again next Friday. With a bit more time on my hand I returned to Smith’s Beach, this time with Jaime. Continue reading “The perfect playground”
