Yet another trip to Leonidio … I guess I must like the place? 😀 This time I went with an extended gang of Kendalian climbers (Tim, Cherrie, Graham, Pete and his son Ben who joined us for a few days, Neil, and Greg). We met up with Ed, who had already been in Leonidio for …
Yet another trip to Leonidio – it’s that good there! This time though I went with a gang of Slovakian based mates…
I had hopes of seeing some ex-soviet brutalist culture when visiting Slovakia. In that regard I was disappointed. Slovakia, despite being very far to the east – just about as far east as Europe goes, is best described with just one word – beautiful…
I have just received an advance copy of the latest Wired guidebook, North Wales Rock. Wow, what a great book! In my humble opinion this is the best looking guidebook to rock climbing in North Wales ever produced. 😉 Published under the Wired brand by the Climbers’ Club this will likely be the last ever …

After our week in Manikia Jana and Laetitia had to head off back home to the Lakes. 🙁 But Nick had booked another week of lovely accommodation for us a few hours north in the utterly gobsmacking destination, Meteora. 😀 Meteora is like a scene from the movie Avatar. Incredible towers of conglomerate rock piercing …
Manikia is a newish Greek sport climbing destination, and it shows! I know it’s a bit of a cliche, but in Manikia’s case I think it’s justified to use, the place is totally unspoiled. There’s no litter, it’s clean, fresh, and very very rural. The place has a really fantastic vibe! Another cliche might be …
It’s been 10 years to the week since I first went to the Languedoc with Keith and friends. So I was quite excited to be returning…
