The small Greek island of Kalaymnos has been on my must go soon list for years and I'm finally here. Things were a little hectic after finishing my series of in store talks  Cotwold but I made a stupidly early flight the next day and ended up 11 hrs later here. and whats it like.......simply put its STUNNING.

The climbing covers all sorts of grades from French 3 up to 9b and they all seem to be amazing routes. All are well bolted so there is no stress there while the situtaion is lovely, most of the crags over look a crystal blue calm sea.

So far getting around has been simply, we have just been walking 20-30mins from the hotel that we are all staying in, but for further away trips it seems that scooters are the prefered method of transport.

The food is cheap and good as is the beer and wine, although so far I'm not too sure about the greek wine!

After only two days here the finger tips are raw andthe arms are feeling like lead, (its all a little steep) but its just fab.

Stay posted for more updates as the week unfolds.
