Hi Julie,

I have a mate who runs an operation in Hokkaido called Hokkiado Outdoor
Adventures. His name is Pat O'Keeffe and his email is hoa@...
they also have a website of the same name which you can google. My son Tyler
worked there all last summer and had a ball - he works in our Garden City
store 9315 3699 if you want to talk him more.

Cheers,
Mike Wood.

Hi

Good walking in the Fitzgerald River National Park and there are camping
areas to.  We completed an eight day walk there a year or two back. Could
easily have an overnight in from either side.

Hello Julie,

I can give you a contact in Albany who may be aware of someone in Esperance
and what walks are good.

Shelley Adkin is the Secretary of the Albany Bushwalkers and any enquiry
must have “Albany Bushwalkers” in the subject line.

Her email address is:

shelleyadkin@...



For a list of bushwalking contacts in WA see the following link:

http://www.bushwalkingwa.org.au/members.html



I am aware of the following in the Esperance Region:

Cape Arid NP

Cape Le Grand NP

Nuytsland Nature Reserve

Peak Charles NP

Stokes NP

Woody Island Nature Reserve



You can also contact the Esperance Visitor Centre on:

http://www.visitesperance.com <http://www.visitesperance.com/>



Hope the above helps.



Best

Ralph

To: Mike Wood <mikew@...>


  Hi Everyone,

We are presenting an extremely unique guest speaker next Tuesday week
November 11th at 7pm at UWA's Social Science Theatre. Tim Cope journeyed
from Mongolia to Hungry on horse back travelling in the "Footsteps of
Genghis Khan" and taking over 3 years to complete this amazing journey.

Tim won Australian Geographic's Adventurer of the Year Award in 2006, he has
presented to National Geographic's Annual Adventure Awards in Washington,
his documentary "Off the Rails' has been screened on the ABC and "The
Yenisey Expedition", about his rowing expedition across Siberia to the
Arctic Ocean, has been screened on the National Geographic channel.

Tim combines still shots with video footage in this awe inspiring
presentation that will make you want to get up out of your seat and embark
on your own journey of a lifetime.

We are doing this presentation to help Tim raise $7000 for quarantine
services to bring his faithful dog Tigon out to Australia. Tigon, which
means 'Hawk' or 'fast flyer' in Kazakh, accompanied Tim on his epic journey
guarding his 3 horses and keeping Tim safe from wolves and bandits.

Tickets are $20 and are available from Mountain Designs 862 Hay St Perth,
9322 4774. Bookings are essential.
Hope to see you there,
Cheers,
Mike Wood.

Subject: Fw: re Peregrine Adventures
To: Mike Wood <mikew@...>


  Morning Everyone,

Just a quick email to let you know of an exciting new development here at
Mountain Designs Perth.

  Last week the owner of the Peregrines Perth office, my friend Peter
Lambert, announced his retirement and consequently I purchased the business
from him. The synergies of Mountain Designs and Peregrine Adventures are
obvious, from this one destination we can now offer you the 'gear for places
you'd rather be', and the actual adventure as well! I plan to share my time
between the two businesses in the same building and hope to see you soon to
help in planning your next adventure.

  Remember that we are also home to the Bibbulmun Track Foundation, the Munda
Biddi Bike Trail Foundation, Outward Bound and the Duke of Edinburgh Award
Scheme. We sponsor and support these 4 important community groups for the
benefit of all who enjoy the 'Spirit of Adventure'.

As some of you may know I have been with Mountain Designs since 1986,
eventually buying the Perth Franchise in 1992 and expanding the WA operation
to 7 stores over the next 22 years. Between 1980 and 86 I lived and worked
in the Himalaya, based in Kathmandu, as a white water rafting, kayaking and
trekking guide. I spent 3 of those years helping to set up the Himalayan
operations of Peregrine Expeditions. In fact my first expedition to Nepal in
1980, the first complete descent of the Sun Khosi River (River of Gold) from
Tibet to India, was supported by Peregrine. Over the next 28 years I
returned to the Himalaya every year leading private trekking, rafting and
kayaking groups, undertaking mountaineering expeditions like the 40th
Anniversary Ascent of Mt Everest, led by Tashi Tensing, Tensing Norgays
grandson - and generally just having lots of fun! I managed not to neglect
other countries and adventure destinations either and have now been to all
seven continents, including a Sea Kayaking adventure in Antarctica in 2000.

I hope that we can share some more adventures together.

Kind Regards,
Mike Wood.
Managing Director.

The following was sent to me by Mike Wood from Mountain Designs.



<snip>

The Australian Himalayan Foundation is looking to set up a Supporters
Chapter in Western Australia and has approached me to be State Director. We
have put together a small organising committee of 'Himalayan addicts' and
arranged for a dinner to launch the Chapter. Gary Weare from AHF's head
office in Sydney will address the guests to give us some idea about the
projects that AHF undertakes, including the Teacher Training, Schools,
Health Posts and Forestry projects.



If you have an interest in helping the Himalayan people better their lives,
if you have an interest in meeting like minded people who participate in
these projects and if you're keen to have fun and want to meet others who
have similar experiences to you, then log on to the website,
www.australianhimalayanfoundation.com.au and book for the dinner on Thursday
October 9th at the Annapurna in Subiaco.



Gary Weare will be coming across to help in the launch and to give us some
insight into the AHF's current activities and successes, and to outline the
aims and direction of AHF. We will also be organising more functions where
the other Directors such as Peter Hillary, Michael Dillion, Christine Gee,
Lincoln Hall and the Chairman, Simon Balderston - all extremely experienced
Himalayan veterans, will be presenting .



I hope that you can join us in this fantastic venture to give something back
to one of the most amazing regions of the world that keeps drawing many of
us back time and time again.



Kind Regards,

Mike Wood.

WA Director.

Australian Himalayan Foundation.

Great Walk Networking is hosting a fully supported bushwalk from Hyden
(of Wave Rock fame) to Norseman during the October School Holidays.
This promises to be a unique experience since the Walk will cover
extraordinarily beautiful terrain, but would be difficult to
impossible to undertake without support.  The Walk will be fully
catered and water transported to each campsite.

The Great Walk is an environmental and community-based organisation
that hosts 10 day bushwalks two to three times per year.  Children are
welcome and transportation to and from Fremantle is available.  Great
Walk Networking is a non-profit group.

October 1st - October 10th 2008
$300 adult/ $200concession
$150/$40 per child depending on age
10 days, including meals...

All details, registration forms and contacts can be found at:

Dear All

I am planning to ride the [url=http://www.keptrack.org.au]Kep Track[/url]
(Mundaring to Northam and return) over the weekend of October 25  - 26,
2008.

Preliminary plans will have the ride leaving the western trail head at  the
Mundaring Weir Hall (Hotel) at 8:30 AM on Saturday October 25, 2008.  We
should then arrive in Northam mid-afternoon for an opportunity to look
around the place.

The plan is to stay overnight at the [url=
http://www.visitnorthamwa.com.au/accom_result1/northam-caravan-park/]NorthamCara\
van
Park[/url] (range of accommodation options which means one can
travel fairly light) before riding back to the western trail head on the
Sunday, again expecting to back mid-afternoon Sunday.

If you are interested please let me know and I will include you in the
planning.

The intention is to run the ride under the auspices of the Perth Bushwalkers
Club (insurance purposes) so a $5.00 visitors fee is applicable.

Regards
Andrew

Hi Ralph and AP

Desert? Yeah, but WA is not Namibia... :-)
However, that does not address my comment, which was about the map roller
thingy.
I can see the justification for carrying a GPS in the very flat lands, no
worries.
But I have no problems converting GPS coords to a position on a topo map
without any electronic gadgets.

Yeah, sure gadgets are cute - but you have to carry the weight. Me, I am
getting stingy about what I carry.

Cheers
Roger

G'day

Ah, but that requires features .... Often here in the west, particularly in
the southwest it is quite hard to get a good visual fix on significant
features to then relate back to a map (and that is ignoring the common issue
of creeks etc not being on the map or being on the map and not on the
ground) and then of course there is the desert
(http://www.bugbog.com/images/galleries/namibia_pictures/namib_desert_pictur
es.jpg for example).

FWIW.

I sent the following suggestion for their consideration:

<snip>

I have been mulling this over for a time and I haven’t found one on the
market.

I would love to have an instrument that tells me exactly where I am on a
map.

I carry a GPS and sort of work out where I am.

The instrument that I envisage would have a little wheel that moves over the
map and records the GPS positions on the map similar to a cursor on Google
Earth.

One would have to key in the map scale and border co-ordinates of the map.
Starting in one corner the unit would be dragged across the map until it
matched the GPS waypoint giving the exact location.

I can see military precision applications for this also.

There would have to be a menu of units to cater for the map being used
similar to what is in a GPS, such as UTM/UPS Map Datum WGS 84 and HD M’S.S”.

The display would be digital and powered by a button style battery.



This is the challenge.



I was not aware that there would be a prize. That came out of the blue. Very
nice though.

Paul,

You only go for titanium if you want to shave grams from your pack weight.

This is a hard, durable material that can withstand extreme conditions,
knocks and abrasions.

The hardness of the metal means that pots can be made thinner, hence
lighter.

That is the only advantage of titanium and you are paying a top premium
price for a metal mined at Eneabba, shipped overseas to be made into a
product and re-imported back to Aussie.

If shaving grams is not what you are after you would probably be better off
going for a Duo SS AL pot. That is a stainless steel and aluminium where the
two metals are pressed together under high pressure. The aluminium on the
outside is good for the thermal conductivity, and the stainless steel on the
inside is scratch resistant.

I'd be keen to hear members opinions on titanium pots. I've made some
"pepsi can" stoves and would like to couple my best stove with a
lightweight pot. Looks like the MSR 2L pot at US$90 and the MSR
Cookset at US$120 seem to be the market leaders from my web searches.
I've been using a Trangia until now.

Any thoughts?
