Buzet
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 […]
Back on the road
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, […]
High Tor
Plans for a High Tor trip were excitedly hatched, involving Delta G and Amber Gambler, with maybe another attempt on Tales for Jake. Gearing up we found we’d failed to […]
Millstone
Sunny Sunday afternoon, and a gentle session on the grit is too hard to resist, despite the dodgy calf. Warby, Chris and Sue are heading to Millstone so I drop […]
Birthday celebrations at Stoney
As if a Solar Eclipse, Super Moon and the Equinox weren’t enough to make Jake’s 19th Birthday a memorable event, how about a trip to Stoney? Remarkably the skies cleared […]
Back in Blighty – a trip to Pen Trwyn
Not a bad time to be arriving back in Blighty – the daffodills are out in the garden and there have been a couple of weather windows to allow some […]
Homeward-bound
On the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull – still sunny as we enjoy a final beer on deck before dinner. Heading home over the Woodhead we hadn’t really expected 3″ […]
Remigny – France’s answer to Hobby
Just time for a quick stop-off in Burgundy on the way home. No campsites open around here this time of year, so great that Remigny […]
Saint Leger
…a bit of a misnomer. Should be Saint burly or just plain saint HARD! Super crag near Buis les Barronais, set in a stunning location – an isolated valley with […]
Venasque
A really interesting crag near Avignon- Venasque has a “gritty” feel to it; rounded steep rock with a lot of attention to feet and friction as well as open-handed moves. […]
La Clape – El Chapelle
Back into France and it’s almost a return loop from our October trip South – stopping in at La Clape. Gorgeous scenery looking out over the Med with the snow-capped […]
Rockamura
It was hard to tear ourselves away from Chulilla, but the desperate need for a rest day combined with an equally desperate need for a shower, and coincided with forecast […]
Chulilla – Sector PARED DE ENFRENTE
Back on the sunny side, and there’s more fantastic quality climbing to be had on PARED DE ENFRENTE. Perhaps the route of the sector is the stepped overhanging groove / crack […]
Chulilla – Sector Oasis
This is where the bulk of the new development has taken place. About 4km of 80m crag, with hundreds of routes that barely scratch the surface of the full potential. […]
Chulilla – Sector Lamentations
We’ve had a few days at Chulilla over the years – Smitten with the fantastic rock architecture, but never really getting much out of the climbing – many of the […]
Bunol
Heading gently north we stopped in at Bunol – another of the top 60 crags. … Bunol is most famed for the tomato festival when tens of thousands of people […]
El Picayo
Another good crag in a spectacular setting. Just a couple of dozen routes, but mostly 35m long and in a beautiful valley. Toasty too!
Cocentaina
One of the finds of the trip, Cocentaina is an orange splash of highly featured rock on an otherwise grey hillside. Not much in the way of warm ups, but […]
Barranc de L’Avern
We fancied exploring the hinterland around Alcoy for a few days – somewhere that had always seemed too long a drive for a day trip from the coast. We based […]
Bolulla
After waving everyone off towards flights back to Blighty, it was time to leave the coast and get back on the road. First stop was Bolulla – not the biggest […]
