After the wedding we headed off to explore the Tasman peninsula. Carole had been here before and highly recommended the walk to the Totem Pole, an absolutely classic rock climb, which, if I had fingers, guts and time would be fun to climb someday.
It was a beautiful walk out there. Now, Mick has been promising to go on “a walk” with Domhnall Glynn and I for *years*. There’s always talk of the mythical “walk”. Here, for the first time *ever* on video is captured Mick. Walking.
He takes his sunscreen very, very, seriously. Which is a good thing. There’s a whole lot less ozone down here.
Anyway, it was a lovely walk with Tall Neil (not that he’d be that in The Netherlands), Mick, Carole, Andrew, Glynn&Jayne&Isla, Eoin, Maaike and I. It was great to be out there… my feet were somewhat itchier by the end of the trip.
Here’s a video looking out over the totem pole. It would be a perfect climb to do. But methinks I need to get back climbing twice or thrice a week for a while before I’d be able to tackle something like it.

the key thing missing though, is that he promised he would walk WITH ME as well as with you and Glynn, Paddy…the myth lives on…

oh, and I hate to disappoint you, but the video only shows the Candlestick…the Totem Pole proper is a teeny skinny stack right in underneath you…you had to scramble further down to your left to see it…you may have to come back
