Mr Grumpy

Last week the beach was once again choppy meaning the visibility would be poor. However, the forecast promised a hot weekend, and more often than not that would come with calmer weather. So Saturday morning I wandered down to take a dip. While there was not a heap to see and the water still hadContinue reading “Mr Grumpy”

New shoes

This morning Mikie and I headed out to finish off his 10km challenge, and he picked a great spot to do that. It felt like there was landward breeze as we walked down to the crag but we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. This place being so close the ocean and also being quiteContinue reading “New shoes”

Finally… my boulder wall

Rongy recently downsized his woodie and in late November offered me three panels plus the frames. I found out that these panels and frames originally came from the Mountain Design shop in Bunbury, so I was inheriting a little slice of SW climbing history. Lisa asked how long I thought it would take and IContinue reading “Finally… my boulder wall”

Things are clearing up

This email has images from several trips over the last week. After Christmas the water wasn’t showing any great signs of clearing up and each time I went for a snorkel it was hard to spy much. That said I still braved the water to see what I might find: Couldn’t resist this picture ofContinue reading “Things are clearing up”

A winter’s day

As Dan and Joanne were over from Melbourne I had a good reason to head out and they were keen for Willyabrup, which is where we went yesterday. We had agreed to meet at 6:30. However, seeing I’m awake at 5 most days and creep round the house like a mouse so as not toContinue reading “A winter’s day”

Merry Christmas!

We decided to have a Christmas Eve get together at Welly Dam, and the hard core crew turned up at 6 for a not so early start. My guess being that it was a later start so we could make sure we were not too tired on the big day to see what Santa mayContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”

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”
