Greece Dates Confirmed.

We finally got everyone together and worked out the dates for the next trip Away. September the 19th will see us heading back out to Kalymnos in Greece for a weeks climbing. It will be my second trip Kalymnos and the other lads first. Personally, I'm looking forward to the scooters the most but having experienced the climbing out there and failing on some of the routes I'm feeling good about going back out

So far six of us will be heading out with a few of them staying on for two weeks. So it gives us a couple more months of training yet before we head out there. So far most days have been spent trawling through the guide book trying to remember the best places and day dreaming of being back there. Our Olympus flight leaves on 19th and it cant come to quickly.

But before Greece.........................

Before all this me and rich are off to France to attempt Mount Blanc via two routes. We will be heading out to attempt Europe's Highest mountain in late July early August as this is the best time for the weather. with any luck and decent weather and providing we acclimatize well we should manage it. The first few days will be spent acclimatizing to the thin air and moving up and down the lower parts of the mountain slowly gaining height and later on in the week we will push for the summit. If time allows then we will then come back down and try again via a more difficult route. Updates and links will be available soon.
