Authors Jan and Phil Morris. Leonidio is a small Greek town (pop 4000 ish) surrounded by market gardens and close to numerous beaches. In summer the area is popular for sailing but in winter it is visited by climbers. There are numerous crags within walking distance and within easy driving distance. We were climbing there […]
Lundy 2022 Trip Report
Saturday – Just Another Manic Lundy! We all met bright and early in Ilfracombe to board the MS Oldenburg to make the 2hr crossing to Lundy. With the ferry swaying and rocking in the harbour we waited with anticipation to depart – luckily the weather was on our side and once we were in the […]
AMC in Kalymnos 2022
If, like me, you are a person for which many a climbing trip has involved trudging up a hill in the driving rain then read on my friend, you are doing it wrong. Kalymnos gained fame for rock climbing in 1996 after it was discovered by an Italian couple. Prior to this the main source […]
Cornwall 14-16th October 2022
With the arrival of the main group and the [boziˈgran] / [bɵˈzigrən] balance restored, Saturday saw us take it back to the 50s with non-stop classics. Me and Gwenver climbed the ledges of Ledge Climb and Vianney and Luke climbed the rib of Alison Rib. Andrew climbed Victor and Richard, or possibly the other way around. Luke topped out Big Top with Big Matt, while on Little Brown Jug I grabbed the medium sized jug, and later, the big ones.

New members meet in Gorge D’Avon 😊

Chamonix Trip August 22
The AMC held a trip from 27th August to 10th Sept to Chamonix in the French Alps. At least that was the plan! Poor conditions reports and a flotilla of solo van drivers meant a measly four of us met at the perfectly positioned, but a bit rough Camping les Arolles in Cham. Next time […]
Skye 28th May-5th June 2022
With high hopes and low expectations of good weather Jamie and I, Jake, Kane, Mark and James all headed up to Skye for some jubilee fun, mountain style. Spotting a potentially small good weather window, Jamie and I headed straight up to bivvy at the start of the Cuilin ridge the day we arrived. Jake […]
