Pyli 

September 29, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

September 27, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

For a break from pebble-pulling, and to tie in with a trip to a gear shop in Trikala, we went to investigate the limestone crag at Mouzaki. Awesome spot, about […]

September 26, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

Vratsa 

September 23, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

Climbing in Transylvania around Brasov 

September 18, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment

It’s less than 300km from Turda to Brasov, but around a 5 hour drive. You just have to get into the slower paced groove, rejoice in the average trip mpg […]

September 11, 2017by Dominic 2 Comments

Weisenstein

September 9, 2017by Dominic Leave a comment

Possibly the ultimate crag for a crap day. 2 mins from the road and with climbing steep enough to stay dry in the rain.  Perfect for a few routes on […]

Flytrap on Gogarth North Stack – birthday adventure 

September 1, 2017by Dominic 1 Comment
