Julie Honey – where are you?

Colin and Ray towards the end of our trip.DIONE DELL – APRIL 2016
Dione Dell is one of those multi pitch trips that just doesn’t get the attention that it deserves.  Sort of the NZ bridesmaid to Kanangra Main, Danae and Carra Beanga (for those who remember Dame Edna), but it’s really pretty, not the epic trip that the other Kanangra trips are, just a good, fun day out.  Continue reading →

Freshwater Canyon – who’s idea was this?

Capture00GLEN DAVIS – FRESHWATER CANYON B BRANCH – MARCH 2016
As we were climbing up yet another hill in the stinking heat and I said to Aine G “who’s idea was this anyway”, she reminded me that it was a comment from me to Julie B about Freshwater Canyon “let’s do it Julie B, I’ve got 4th March free”!  And so, Julie organised a trip out to Freshwayter Canyon, Glen Davis way.  Continue reading →
