Saturday morning just gone I woke up before the alarm, mind you it was only set for 4:45 and I’m usually stirring by then.  It could have been earlier but for the first time that Rongy could remember I chose a later start.  My excuse being that it had been a big couple of weeksContinue reading “Belated happy birthday Steve!”

The bushfire warnings were all out with a hot weekend in the south west of Western Australia forecast.  With our coastal climbing spots threatening to get up to the mid-thirties it was time to be sensible and have a proper early start to get out and back before the heat really hit.  With that inContinue reading “Depeche Mode”

You may recall that last weekend I was not at my best, but that said Rongy and I still had a great session at the Northern Blocks with me following up every route.  This week I’ve been a bit up and down, Lisa suggested I may be experiencing a dose of manapause or possibly worseContinue reading “Getting over it”

Rongy and I headed out on Sunday for a bit of fun at Wilyabrup.  We decided to get there early, so as we were driving west on Metricup Road five minutes from our destination I could see, in the rear view mirror, the sun starting to inch it’s way above the horizon.  The sky seemedContinue reading “Off the beaten track”
