Maddie’s and Rowan’s Training adventures part 4.

This was more of the same.

Rowan’s dad Graham was taxi driver and chief labourer again (the dive kit had not got any lighter yet.)

Again another glorious day despite all the forecasts (I am getting good at this, Kayaking weekend was supposed to be awful weather and turned out brilliant and every training trip since has been glorious weather. I had better go and fill out the lottery coupon.

Trip Report - The Spit

Maddie’s and Rowan’s Training adventures part 3.

This was simply the funniest thing I have seen in years.

We announced we would be down at Baz’s this weekend but nobody seemed interested in joining us this time. Well it was their loss.

<>We pitched up at Baz’s and carried all the dive gear down to his boat and RIB which he had very kindly agreed to lend us for this brilliant spectacle. After a quick brief Maddie kitted up (we could only do one trainee at a time as we were down to one set of kit...

Trip Report - Christmas in July, Eagle Reach Resort

09 July 2010 | Ross Coleman reporting

After a couple of years doing Christmas in July at the homestead in Megalong Valley, our valiant organiser Rob had, this time, laid on a more luxurious venue; Eagle Reach Resort near Barrington Tops. Sadly, teaching committments meant I couldn't make the first night and I was more than useless the next night, so instead I have reporduced Jill's summary of events. Now I wish I had escaped teaching and come here instead.. far more fun!

<>So, Collina Lodge. What happened there? Well apart from t...
