I had seen some which used pvc pipes as the wick but as I had lots of empty plastic pots I used these instead. Basically the process is:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Cut lid to fit snuggly in the box and draw out where the wicking pots (2) will go</li>
<li>Cut holes for the wicking pots that will hold them snuggly in place (plus make a few small holes in each)</li>
<li>Tape 2 or 3 support pots in place</li>
<li>Cut a hole in the lid for the inlet pipe (retain this foam for float) and punch a decent number of holes throughout the lid</li>
<li>Push lid with pots down into box</li>
<li>Make an outlet hole just below the level of the lid (add optional pipe eg 13mm poly)</li>
<li>Test by filling with water and ensure it drains and add float</li>
<li>Pack wicking pots tightly with potting mix and then cover in potting mix to the desired height</li>
<li>I chose to plant beetroot and you can see from the last pic that the wicking effect is working well except for the smallest plant at the front sop I might move it a few cm</li>
<li>EDIT - i just realised looking at the pics that I need to make the wicking pot longer ie so it reaches to the bottom of the box!!</li>
</ul>

Quite a bit of it is on bush tracks of varying quality and it also covers a lot of nice ground near the harbour. It has some quite steep bits, eg River Road.<br />

<br />
<ol>
<li>Steep descent down Oscar Street/Gore Street to River Road.</li>
<li>Cross River Road at the public school.</li>
<li>Cross River Road after another 150m to gain entrance to Gore Creek Oval</li>
<li>Jog along the track to the oval and duck behind the toilet block under the big concrete culvert to gain the next section of track.</li>
<li>Continue along track until wooden bridge then exit up stone steps to bottom of "driveway from hell".</li>
<li>Along Ford st then right into Carlotta</li>
<li>Right onto Greenwich Rd then into Shell Park</li>
<li>Exit Shell Park (water stop) track at ferry wharf then continue past Greenwich baths</li>
<li>Down steep left to boat ramp then up steeply to Greenwich point lookout</li>
<li>Continue along Victoria, George St & Manns Ave to Greenwich Rd, passing the entrance to Shell Park again</li>
<li>Right into Chisolm Street, right into Edwin St then right into Vista.</li>
<li>Descend steep stone steps then cross wood bridge over creek. Loop around left the up stairs on right.</li>
<li>Continue along bush track then exit at Shirley Rd</li>
<li>Cross Shirley Rd and into Badangi Reserve. Make sure to take a sharp left as indicated in the pic</li>

Should have nailed it on the first visit but this fall before the last clip meant it was time to go down and do some DWS. Fast forward a week and I was down there again under this very nice sheet of overhanging limestone (esp. after a 6hr drive from London). The usual 6c warmup felt a bit of a struggle, and the bolt to bolt go was pretty tough so I wasn't exactly feeling confident. In any case I pulled on and everything seemed to flow. I re-arranged my sequence slightly at the cross at the "hole" to bring my right under my other hand which seemed to make the long throw left a lot easier....a few minute later i was at the top clipping the chains.<br /><br />Had a play on the 7c+ top the right, not only did it feel nails but it is also a bit escapable near the top. Not sure it is worth 3 stars but still keen to give it a proper try.Morgan74http://www.blogger.com/profile/14610763947226482198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405590551801576116.post-55048080734489546912009-09-02T10:09:00.012+01:002009-09-02T14:26:00.727+01:00Random crag shots from FranceDriving back from Gorge du Loup via the Vercors, I noticed plenty of rock.

Cue heavy guitar chords and lots of falling off.<br /><br />2 - Boulder CO<br />Some cool looking climbs here but by this stage it's all getting a bit yee-haa, mad for it. Apparently "your soul has to be redlining"...wtf!<br /><br />That said the footage of Matt Segal on "Musta been high" 5.13b R/X is pretty impressive.<br /><br />3 - Lisa Rands highball<br />Some nice looking footage of Bishop which certainly makes you want to go there (if you have 4 or 5 pads). The focus here is Lisa Rands doing the very highball This Side of Paradise V10.<br /><br />4 - Alpine climbing<br />Normally I would probably enjoy this but it seemed a bit flat. Alpine climbing is always going to be hard to film because of logistics but this was really an account of a suffer-fest with a narrow escape from an avalanche thrown in.<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Tn-XfqVMAbNhay8p4Hw40RLrKZPui0p5zyHJNNSeI2ieuadoiHiowmGgMCmhI4kBNuCqpvUUUHAb5m8JPx1lNz1VcR91CdekrmJnFucnkMmPgAGBLhbUMwX7V9t1T4WQzsWjQgbyMjQ/s1600-h/Sharp-end.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268306206162262354" style="WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Tn-XfqVMAbNhay8p4Hw40RLrKZPui0p5zyHJNNSeI2ieuadoiHiowmGgMCmhI4kBNuCqpvUUUHAb5m8JPx1lNz1VcR91CdekrmJnFucnkMmPgAGBLhbUMwX7V9t1T4WQzsWjQgbyMjQ/s320/Sharp-end.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p></p>5 - Elb Sandstein tower climbing<br />Introduced by Cedar Wright, gives an interesting historical perspective, with interviews with local hardman Bernd Arnold. No chalk, nuts or cams....not sure the climbing really appeals to me.<br />Highlight here is Alex Honnold's ascent of a very tall, poorly protected arete. Very timely given the success of Team America on the grit lately.<br /><br />6 - Aid climbing Yosemite<br />Not my cup of tea. Sure, aid climbing can be hard and dangerous, but it's not exactly athletic. It has a scary fall, but the protagonists overreaction is a bit wierd. Next!<br /><br />7 - Base Jumping<br />I guess this is like the sharp end on steroids. Base Jumping is always good to watch so it pretty hard not to like, especially the archive footage of Chris McNamara landing near some unsuspecting hikers.<br /><br />8 - Steph Davis free soloing<br />Builds up with Steph on Concepcion 5.13 then onto a solo of Longs Peak....and more base jumping thrown in for goo measure.<br /><br />9 - Eiger free base<br />The best episode for me. Totally out there by Dean Potter on Deap Blue Sea (5.12, 7b+). An insane mix of two separate genres in an alpine setting with all the related issues of climbing/falling in such an environment.<br /><br />So all up not a bad DVD but not one of the best either. I would be inclined to give it 6 out of 10 but I'll bump it up to 7/10 for Dean Potter on the Eiger.<br /><br />The extras, like the main film are a bit of a grab bag, although mostly focused on roped climbing, with Adam Ondra climbing at his local crag buried in there as well. Slightly odd as he is the only non-American to star.Morgan74http://www.blogger.com/profile/14610763947226482198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405590551801576116.post-30516350940877801102008-11-13T22:09:00.004+00:002008-11-14T00:46:27.492+00:00Ecrins ICE festivalThis is an annual event in Argentiere la Besse, showcasing the local ice climbing. I went to the 2008 one which was my second ice climbing trip. It's a great way to meet new people and get detailed local knowledge of ther best places to climb. Organisation is done by Gérard Pailheiret, a local guide, and highlights include, free shuttle buses to climbing venues, gear stalls by sponsors, free equipment testing, film nights etc.<br /><br />Further information on the 2009 festival here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ice-fall.com/rc/Program/ICE/2009/233.aspx" target="new">http://www.ice-fall.com/rc/Program/ICE/2009/233.aspx</a><br /><br />Here's a pic of me on Y-Gauche at Ceillac, a cool little crag towards the Italian border (which has a nice short walk in):<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij3c6j23yZQLNpjFxdC8GrkjnLunOJIVUVwViNXwT7lUOSnjPfLXqEKfrGfAnxn3duGyv9P7leEKIGw4Wcj9JZn3pCe4RXSQV8D2B5TQbhMcK83KZzGrqeWH-m9SkvTGKgXSfwQPgdVg4/s1600-h/Y+-+gauche.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268270435967621026" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij3c6j23yZQLNpjFxdC8GrkjnLunOJIVUVwViNXwT7lUOSnjPfLXqEKfrGfAnxn3duGyv9P7leEKIGw4Wcj9JZn3pCe4RXSQV8D2B5TQbhMcK83KZzGrqeWH-m9SkvTGKgXSfwQPgdVg4/s320/Y+-+gauche.jpg" border="0" /></a>Morgan74http://www.blogger.com/profile/14610763947226482198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405590551801576116.post-58659680010337538672008-11-13T21:46:00.003+00:002008-11-14T00:45:23.643+00:00Las Papas topo<div>Just a quick first post to highlight an impressive ascent of the Dru.
