It has been close to a months since Lisa and I had a dip at our local beach and got up close and personal with a friendly cuttlefish. In that month I started working from home, giving me a perfect opportunity to make the most of the best midweek and weekend conditions to swim withContinue reading “A better ending”

Changing seasons
Conditions were looking better for heading to where I intended to go on Monday. Clear skies, light winds, and no chance of rain. I thought that by going on a Friday, as oppose to the weekend, it would be quiet and secondly it might also make me feel better about being on the road. ThereContinue reading “Changing seasons”
What are the chances!
Like probably everywhere else Easter was unnaturally quiet at Peppy Beach, normally it would be crawling with people due to being a favourite place to get away and spend time on the beach. On Sunday night we met up with the neighbours in our cul-de-sac for a drink, each bringing our own chair, drink andContinue reading “What are the chances!”
The terminator
While you may laugh, in recent times it feels like I have lost the confidence I used to have on lead. The likelihood of being able to get out with anyone, to be able to build that confidence back up by leading climbs, is very slim to non-existence for months to come. With that inContinue reading “The terminator”
Risky business
With the way the world is going I felt that the great trip down to Mount Frankland last week may have been the last climbing trip for some time to come. I did touch base with Howsie before this weekend to check if he was still keen, it was a silly question really. But despiteContinue reading “Risky business”
Eagle eyes
It had been predicted to be a breezy weekend with the wind direction not being ideal for going for a dip. However as I drove Steve home from the hospital after his last operation, which I might add he only just had done in time before they start to can elective surgery, I was watchingContinue reading “Eagle eyes”
There and back again a climber’s tale
For a few months now Howsie and I had a plan to head to Mount Frankland, and the timing coincided nicely with a south coast trip that Rongy and Wiggins had concocted. Howsie’s got a plan to hit grade 20s and Hannibal was in his sights. However, in the week before the trip Howsie wasContinue reading “There and back again a climber’s tale”
The Blob
Last weekend I squeezed in a quick snorkel before everyone rocked up to our place for the first viewing of Wiggins latest video. I had two reasons for this, well maybe three. The conditions were lovely and I knew that the rest of the day would be chewed up so it was my only chance;Continue reading “The Blob”
A Reason for Cake
With the changing season we come to expect glorious weather during the week, while many of us are couped up at work, with weekends threatening rain to dampen any idea of outdoor fun. This weekend was looking, what the 28 day rain forecast predicts, to be the start of this new normal. During the weekContinue reading “A Reason for Cake”
Esperance Revisited
Back in September 2019 Howsie, Wiggins and myself made the big trip down to Cape Le Grande past Esperance on the south coast of Western Australia. It was a magical trip with glorious weather, incredible scenery, scrumptious food, delicious homemade beer and of course stunning climbing. On that trip we saw a number of veryContinue reading “Esperance Revisited”
