Omis – into the Pirate Stronghold
Omis lies a couple of hours south of Paklenica, and 20km south of Split. The river Cetina has carved a deep gorge through rock barriers, into the sea, making the […]

The climbing really is outstanding – just wish they’d bump up the grades a bit!
Just as we’d settled into our seaside paradise, the convoy caught up with us 🙂 Mike, Geoff, Alf and Jean rolled into the campsite more or less as the rain […]
We figured we’d avoid the polish in the main gorge by doing one of the multi pitch routes. Sure enough, despite being only 5 minutes from the car, ### was […]
Paklenica National Park has the lucky juxtaposition of a stunning limestone gorge just a couple of miles from the Dalmatian coast. There are about 500 routes, from single pitch sports […]
In line with a new found determination to try and take more rest days, we headed for a couple of days R and R at Plitvice Lakes National Park. Any […]
We fancied a change of scene from Osp so headed south over the border into Croatia. There has been a lot of development around the town of Buzet, with half […]
The end of the kids’ trip came around all too soon, so I had a day playing taxi driver to not one but two airports in Venice. Having got Jake […]
This is the last of the Osp crags and another complete contrast. Tucked away at the bottom of the Big Wall sector is an amazing stalactite filled cave, which even […]

Misja Pec lies 500m up the road from Osp, and like its big brother, was also formed by the collapse of an underground cave system in the Karst escarpment, many […]
The landscape is dominated by the Karst escarpment, which runs for over 50km from Italy through Slovenia and into Croatia. In the picture below you can see the village of […]
Osp is a tiny village, a few km over the Italian border into Slovenia. Home to a great campsite, Camping Vovk, and dominated by the towering crags behind, this is […]
Half an hour south of Osp, over the border into Croatia, lies Buzet, the latest mega crag to be developed in these parts. Actually a series of crags set in […]
Gales forecast across Britain, and Tashy is home from Bristol, so after a couple of weeks of pit stop we’re heading south again. It’s a 15 hour drive to Slovenia, […]
