Sunshine's New Bike

Sunshine picked up her new bike from the local shop today. A X hire bike, only 6 months old. Its in pretty good nick too!



We slept the night out at the end of Ridgewell Rd, and hopped on the bikes in the morning for a rideout to Hanging Rock/Anvel Rock.



It's a cruisy 3 km down to the lookout where you leave the bikes and stroll around some spectacular tracks. This is me not daring to jump across the gap.



The dogs came with us of course, they had no trouble keeping up but I don't think they could go that much further at the end of it all.



And it wasn't too bad riding back either!

Climbing at Mount Boyce

Richard's brother Peter was keen to try out climbing for the first time today. Richard tool him to Mount Boyce for a taste on "The Erie". Peter's girlfirend Zoe found a safe pirch to watch from, where she snaped these pictures.



This is Peter seconding up the final pitch of "The Erie". What a great climb too! I'm sitting behind Richard up the top, belaying Sunshine up "Set, Piece, Battle", a harder climb at grade 14 (though I reckon its even harder again). If you look closely at the photo below you can see Sunshine about to sink her teeth into a steep section, while Peter prepares himself for stepping out of the cave on the erete.

Mum's Visit

Mum came to visit over the weekend. Sunshine and I were recovering from colds so I hope we didn't pass it over to her. Cooked up a lamb roast, and mum chewed the bones by the fire, much to the dogs dismay!

We Have Wireless Broadband Now

So a lot of sitting by the fire tapping away at the Internet these days...

Sunshine's Family Visit

Sunshine's parents, brother and sister came to stay over the weekend. Fen and Steve came to the pub where Sunshine used to work. I tool them all down to Mount Piddington the next day and belayed everyone of Hocus Pocus. It was funny to watch.
