Having attended the LCA2016 OpenHardware miniconf I have an ESPlant module, and it had just sat in it’s packet since the conference in February!
(read more...)I have finally figured out all the bits for running APRS for tracking to and from my activations, worked well for my last activation of Webb’s Ridge. That’s a bit of a slower drive up via Blue Range Rd out in the brindies, good fun if a bit chilly towards the end!
(read more...)I’d decided to try and drive the triton up Mt Pinnibar while camping with the family at Geehi, 33km past Thredbo on the Apline Way. Geehi’s a lovely spot, and I recommend it for camping!

(read more...)Well, time to get out of the shack again! Decided on Yellow Rabbit hill, a nice drive up summit with a short walk to the top!
(read more...)I’d planned a camping trip a few months ago with some friends at Geehi in the snowy mountains, a 45 minute drive, about 35kms past Thredbo on the Apline Way. So, thinking about it a bit more, I decided to see if there are any close by SOTA peaks, lo and behold, there are two, Mt Youngall a 10 pointer, and Tyrell’s Ridge, 4 points and not previously activated!

(read more...)A public holiday Monday with lovely weather, and some restless kids, so I took them up the hills to let Mum have a bit of a rest.
