Steve had organised to go for a fish with Alan this morning, but Will was not too keen when she heard about the dawn start. Steve explained to me it was the best time to catch those elusive fish, and sure enough a good number of people were already there when we arrived. Justin andContinue reading “The salmon are running!”

A mixed bag
The intention was not to climb this weekend but Lou wanted to put some gear in to test her headspace. It’s been a long time since her fall and while she has got out once in a while, it has not been regular enough to truly get her back on the horse. So late yesterdayContinue reading “A mixed bag”
Fickle weather…
The sun was shining again last weekend so I did risk another snorkel and while it’s wasn’t all that clear just putting my head under water and checking out what I might find was refreshing. I came across a few more gems that are worth sharing, such as this image of the creature that livesContinue reading “Fickle weather…”
Hook, line and sinker!
This morning Justin and I wandered down to the Bookshelf where the plan was for him to have a crack at trad. It was a crisp clear morning and the moon was still bright in sky as we walked along the rocky shoreline: Being his first use of trad I set him to work onContinue reading “Hook, line and sinker!”
When cloudy was the weather
Last weekend the tail end of a cyclone was due to make its way down the west coast with the threat of wind and rain. So before it was due to hit us I went out for a dip, in what looked like reasonably clear and calm waters. Our neighbour was fishing and said thatContinue reading “When cloudy was the weather”
Happy Easter
It had been a little while since we have had an outdoor social gathering, so seeing it was Easter the word was put out that for those interested and/or not working we decided to head to Welly Dam. It has to be put down as one of the latest starts on record. Steve was firstContinue reading “Happy Easter”
A hive of activity
This morning 4:20 felt way too early to be getting up. However, within ten minutes I was in the car heading out at 5:45 rolled into the carpark. It was still dark a sure sign of summer being over and autumn being here. Denis and Justin were already there, so without further ado we shoulderedContinue reading “A hive of activity”
Bottom feeders
Last weekend we were not heading out anywhere so I had the chance to get into the water on both days. Saturday I wanted to check out a new spot along Peppy Beach so headed out early morning, only to be greeted by a bit of a swell and water that felt cold. It wasContinue reading “Bottom feeders”
Life’s good
This morning Denis and I headed down to Willies to take Justin out. He’s over from California making wine for a few months, and admitted to being a bit rusty and only having climbed sports before. We got the base of the crag and I misheard Denis, as I thought he was keen to leadContinue reading “Life’s good”
A time of many
Last weekend as we came back to shore on the boat we crossed over what looked to be a good reef not too far from the beach. So the next morning I decided to head out there to see what I could see. This is the view I get before I brave the waters, youContinue reading “A time of many”
