Yo Stoners....

Who do I gotta see about joining yer session? Sounds like fun times in the maritimes. Bouldering, while frustratingly fun, leaves me a bit empty of that adrenaline high that I crave so deeply.

Have lighter, will travel,

Mike:

You are a natural for joining the group. Call Steve Punshon, Sean Kelly, or me. I am planning to get out this weekend, with another guy as well.

Probably Sunday, given weather:

I would break the canoe out, for Easter Island or the Zoo, if people are so inclined.

I would be up for the Zoo, maybe save Easter I for when the blackflies emerge. Think the lake is open water now? Sunday is ok with me.

Oh yeah, and I have a big 17ft canoe so I can take 1 or maybe 2... or I could take the zodiac :twisted:

Hey Mitt, will Mrs Mitt let you come??

The Zoo

Postby peter » Thu Apr 07, 2005 10:15 am

Re The Zoo: I wouldn't be surprised if the road that starts on the south side of the lake has been extended, or walking on that side is at least passable, as I have noticed power lines running on that side, and a road higher up the hill. Does anyone know? A current arial photo would answer the question. Perhaps someone connected with military intelligence would know. :wink:

Hey I know this is off topic but there's a couple of us from NB going up towards NH the weekend of the 19or20 to the 24or25 apr for some climbing up around Cathedral and Cannon. If you guys have never been its a east coast trad mecca, VMC direct direct is a must do!

Let me know if anyone is interested

Real Rock Revival

Postby peter » Thu Apr 07, 2005 9:05 pm

There are cottages and a powerline running all along the south-west side of Dauphinees Mills Lake, which is just inland from Hubbards, if you can find yourself on this satellite photo. There are also what look like logging roads, if you go a little further along the highway. They all lead straight to the Zoo.

But I will go anywhere with some fun, moderate rock, which is looking for climbers on lead.

I'm free to go anywhere on Sunday (I'd do the NH thingy but all the sudden, I've got a few new daytimer entries that conflict with yer dates- BC is calling), so if someone could dig their Chip and Dale ('after you', 'no, I insist, after you') thumb outta there butt and pick a time and a place, I'll be there.

Mike :lol:

Postby Stevo » Fri Apr 08, 2005 12:06 pm

OK here is the plan for the 3rd Stoners meet of 2005.
Meet up Sunday 10.30am at the boat ramp of Dauphinee Mill Lake. Directions: Take highway 103 out of town to exit 6. Keep right, road will turn into dirt road ending at lake after a couple of km.
I intend to take my canoe, we need to make sure there are enough boats for those present, I can take Mitt and Mike. Only crazed, headbanging hard climbers need apply.

Cheers
Steve

That last part was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Actually anyone who is willing to put their hand in their pocket to buy a round of drinks can come along. The post-climbing refreshment venue for this week is the downstairs bar of the former 'Two Gulls' pub, St. Margarets Bay village.

SWEET!!!

Maybe I'll dig out my ghetto blaster and some Slayer cassettes.

Then again... maybe not. Don't get me wrong though.... you should all give Slayer a second (or perhaps fisrt) try.

Those whities really know how to rock.

Sunday 10:30. Excullente :P

Excellent choice, Mike.

It is going to be only too damn easy to find new route names:

There once was a girl from Clam Harbour
Who's nipples required a barber
Each one had a curl
Round my tongue they would twirl
And below, not a bush, but an arbour.
