A few nights away from it all

It’s the last weekend of the school holidays and Lisa and I booked couple of nights in a hotel in the middle of the Karri Forests just an hour and half drive from our place. On the way we passed Nannup and dropped Elseya off at a good mate from dance, which meant that LisaContinue reading “A few nights away from it all”

Part 3 – Swanage – the bold and the beautiful

Along the south coast of the UK lies Durlston National Park Nature Reserve, a place of beauty and tranquillity. The land drops sharply into the ocean being guarded by a sheer limestone cliff, which forms a crag that has been described as feeling relatively untouched and in its natural state. As you read on youContinue reading “Part 3 – Swanage – the bold and the beautiful”

Bad ethics

The moon was bright at 3:30 when I stepped outside, the car indicated a lowly 4 degrees but where we were heading was forecast to be 0 degrees at sunrise. We hoped to get to the crag before the sun poked its head out so we could watch the world wake up with a secondContinue reading “Bad ethics”

Part 2 – First lead – The Roaches

It was pointed out to me that I was a bit remiss in not including a map so you could see where in the UK I was referring too. So from now on I will progressively add to the map below. For Part 1 the island of Anglesea sits north west of where I haveContinue reading “Part 2 – First lead – The Roaches”

Part 1 – North Wales – were it all began

I’ve been climbing for 24 years and it dawned on me that for close on half of that time I have been living and climbing here in the south west of Western Australia. So in view that you have been hearing so much about my adventures in WA I thought it was high time toContinue reading “Part 1 – North Wales – were it all began”

Wave for the camera

Despite my prediction that we would struggle with the weather in my last email, this weekend has been a flurry of options to get out. There were offers to visit a Perth crag (it was very tempting!), a trip to Welly Dam this morning and yesterday a day of local trad, which is the oneContinue reading “Wave for the camera”

Fair-weather climbers

It is starting to feel like winter has arrived, at least for our slice of Australia in the far south west. As per usual I checked the forecast regularly all week and it didn’t look to be changing from rain, rain, rain. Then as we got closer it looked like there may have been aContinue reading “Fair-weather climbers”

Cranking!

The sun was breaking through the horizon while the land was shrouded in mist on this Sunday morning. It is easy to tell that winter is coming due to the mornings starting later and later, I took this image at about 7am and is very typical of the country round here at this time ofContinue reading “Cranking!”

Meatloaf

The alarm went off at 2:40 giving me 20min to pack the esky, make a tea and head out the door. Half an hour later I found Howsie walking the streets of Bunbury in darkness with a cuppa in his hand. We’d been organised and I’d picked up all his gear the day before, whichContinue reading “Meatloaf”

Animal Magic

With school holiday upon us, Elseya had a sleep over and so on Good Friday Lisa and I headed out back to the coast for a climb. We had arranged to meet a few people there and Rongy was the first there, and we found him under the shady bush looking out to see throughContinue reading “Animal Magic”
