Still trying to be sensible, I passed up a chance of scaling the stiff and technical granite walls at Welly Dam for a second weekend. Hoping instead the ocean conditions would be in my favour, however Saturday morning came in a bit breezy. Good enough for Lisa’s bob but sadly too choppy to contemplate aContinue reading “Surrounded”

The wild west
This was an on again off again weekend away, and that was several times over. In part because it is getting to silly season, and places are booking up rapidly. We were however keen for a night away, and eventually found a spot to our liking. With a stinker of a weekend, predicated to beContinue reading “The wild west”
School’s Out
Having mentioned just a week or two back that the water conditions have been pretty awful, I really hoped that would soon change. Being in need of another activity to fill my outdoor time. To both provide the opportunity to see, and share the wonders of nature. It’s finally hotting up, to the point thatContinue reading “School’s Out”
I beg to differ
Josh has been absent for a while, and for good reason. As if moving house wasn’t enough of a drain on time, he also managed to mash up his big toe in the process. To the point the nail detached. Hence, the thought of popping his feet into squishy climbing shoes was the last thingContinue reading “I beg to differ”
Drying up
There are days you just need to take some time out, and as the year rolls towards a close it feels like they are needed just that bit more. After half a day’s work I was out and about heading south. Joined by Craig, who was also very grateful for a bit of time inContinue reading “Drying up”
The right place
Fortunately during my wander round Crooked Brook on Wednesday I came across a female Milky Flower Spider (Zygometis xanthogaster). At a hefty 6.5 to 8mm, as opposed to a mere 2.5 to 3mm the males can reach, I was able to get a somewhat reasonable image. These spiders can be found in a vast arrayContinue reading “The right place”
So here it is… almost
It felt a little too blustery and wet for a solo trip to touch rock. In these conditions I would have been more motivated if someone else had shown an interest, but that was not the case. Instead, in part as I had accepted the challenge, I spent an hour or two checking out theContinue reading “So here it is… almost”
An angry mob
I’m pleased that Howsie and I headed to the Dam on Friday for a climb. As despite finally having the car back in operation, the opportunities to get out this weekend became limited for other reasons. Another cold front, with lightning and thunder, started to sweep across the south west from the early hours ofContinue reading “An angry mob”
On the road again
Since Lisa and my trip down to Pemberton, I have been living a relatively secluded life in Peppy Beach. The car troubles that started on the return journey took until yesterday to resolve. There were two faults. And due to the wonders of computer managed engines, these days, pin pointing faults and investigating them becomesContinue reading “On the road again”
Keeping the spark
October is a busy month for us with both our birthdays, wedding anniversary, and, as Lisa likes to call it, boativersary. The latter just hanging off the edge, on the 1 November, and referring to when we first met, which if you had not got from the hint was on a boat. That encounter beingContinue reading “Keeping the spark”
