Turkey 16 to 24 November

Currently 4 of us flying Manchester to Antalya on 16 Nov and back 24th. Heading for sport climbing at Geyikbayiri. Nice cheap German campsite (Google Josito camping). We are going to use their tents and have them fetch us from airport (all very cheap). Anyone interested give me a shout for more details. PS it’s sport climbing so not essential you have a partner.

Froggatt Edge

So, I went to see if crag was dry at 1pm yesterday. It was and even a couple of guys climbing..however the sky was blackening and the thunder closing in. It arrived as a deluge!

I will post again before midday tomorrow and let you know whats happening.
