Sprint Finish

I have not had a real first light start for a long time, but this morning I meet Mikey at 3:30 and as the day was waking up we were starting the first route of the day. Today we were going to the Organ Pipes at Willyabrup with the aim of bagging as much meterageContinue reading “Sprint Finish”

Colourful ocean adventures

Last weekend I went down to the beach on Saturday morning hoping for a milk pond, with no stingers. It wasn’t quite that flat but the stingers were absent, which was good. Lisa came down with the poodles, a cup of coffee and beach chair to soak up some rays while I braved the waterContinue reading “Colourful ocean adventures”

Was it really that long ago…

Looking back at my emails it has been 20 months since I have donned my mask and flippers and delved into the underwater wonderland right off our beach. The reason for such a long absence is three fold: we were back in the UK last (Australian) summer; I managed wreck my ankle when we gotContinue reading “Was it really that long ago…”

On the home turf

I’ve been back from my Kalbarri trip for just over ten days now and I have still been feeling somewhat achy and sore. That may also be down to the sudden increase in temperature and/or the hay fever that has hit me worse than any previous year. So there was only one thing for it,Continue reading “On the home turf”

The Proclaimers

It felt a little strange rolling out of the drive on a Tuesday morning about the same time I would normally be heading off to work, as this time I was heading off for a week of self-indulgence. Over the last week I’d bought, begged, borrowed and stashed stuff for the trip and as hasContinue reading “The Proclaimers”

Part 11 – Alice Springs – rock, rock and more rock!

This is the last email and covers my five years of fun exploring the amazing playground that the Red Centre has to offer. In previous emails I focused on one area and pulled together snippets of my climbing exploits in each. For this email I am covering a heap of places and I was aContinue reading “Part 11 – Alice Springs – rock, rock and more rock!”

Getting Spanked

On Friday Craig and I headed out for a wee climb to celebrate my birthday, but seeing Lisa and Elseya were having a day off school too I didn’t want to drift too far so as to allow me to spend a bit of time with them too. So after a quick drive and shortContinue reading “Getting Spanked”

Part 10 – Italy – something different

With all the great trad climbing right on my doorstep in the UK and Ireland there was little that appealed to me in making the trip across the channel into Europe. I must admit the idea of climbing somewhere like the high peaks of the Dolomites and possible the Alps did draw my attention butContinue reading “Part 10 – Italy – something different”

Part 9 – Ireland – back in time

During my stint in the Lakes, Finton came to visit and we hatched a plan to have a bit of a climbing trip to Ireland. I don’t recall all the thinking behind it other than it seemed like a good idea. So one day I picked Finton and Tim up from the railway station, afterContinue reading “Part 9 – Ireland – back in time”

Time for tea…

After last weekend’s feeling of spring we got hit by another strong front bringing gales and heavy downpours, this put paid to the before work early morning session at Welly Dam. Of course being a public holiday on Monday it also threatened to stay with us over the whole long weekend. So I resided toContinue reading “Time for tea…”
