I'm off to where it's tropical, warm, the maidens are dusky and beer is essential to maintain your weight (I kid you not...). Salome, Leleana and I are off to live in Munda, New Georgia, Solomon Islands (check Google maps). There's plenty of climbing once you find it and one of the best right hand surf breaks in the Solomons ten minutes away by boat (Skull Island). Oh, and did I mention that fish under 45cm in length are called 'bait'. Really good diving if you're into that, and I'll be living next to one of the most significant WW2 Pacific battlefields (lots of cool war junk everywhere - even the proverbial 'Jap planes buried under the airstrip' that I want to dig out). I'll be easy to find, just turn up at Munda and ask for Nick the Aussie Guy.

Salome's mum has given us her house to use - it's right on the beach about five minutes bus ride west of Munda township. Here is the view from the local bar (Agnes Lodge):

I'll make sure I check into Chocky regularly and upload any pictures that are cool. I'm happy to do beers WW&S before I go, you just have to turn up :-). BTW, it is all my gear - I've had it hidden in the shed for all those winter mountaineering fantasies that just didn't happen this year.
