Costa Blanca, El Chorro, Sardinia, Catalunya, Arco, Lecco, Finale, Ariege - been there, done them, got the T-Shirts. Kalymnos was a new tick though, and I have to admit to being mighty impressed, compact area, hundreds of routes, spread of grades, friendly locals, gorgeous weather - all boxes well and truly ticked. Dave Musgrove may have been right, this might be the premier sun/rock destination in Europe.Down sides? Well its is a bit busy (hardly a surprise) and my unexpected dive off the path down from Oddessey yesterday has left me with a sore ankle and a leg like a pin cusion! Not to shoddy though, two weeks in and almost sixty routes ticked with two weeks still to go - already I can see a return visit on the cards, marvelous!

Two weeks after I wrote that we decided to skip the flight back home (it sounds complete crud in the UK) and do a bit more climbing - current tally stands at 109 routes! At a guess 95% of the folks have gone, many of the restaurants and shops have shut, BUT the great weather continues.
