wild garlic in Deepdale

Climbing in Sardinia

Querelle Surtana Sardinia

Instead of being a climbing holiday it was a holiday that included climbing. This is the third time I have visited this hanging valley. On this trip we climbed on crags in the main that we had considered too popular on my first visit. There are less flights now and maybe I am more tolerant. Surtana has also been very quiet!

Some climbing photographs

One day of rain was enough, on the second day we went to see the wall art in Orgosolo; we were impressed.
