Kalymnos
October 2017
Five DMC members, plus friends / family, headed off for some winter sun to one of the Greek islands Kalymnos. Home to some of the best sports climbing in Europe, with over 2600 well-bolted routes.
Great multi-national atmosphere at the crags, with climbers from all over Europe, Australia and even the US. Friendly laidback locals, small ferries that ran when there were enough people, and larger ferries that will maybe run to take you back if the timetable gets updated.

For this year’s May meet the DMC were based at An Teallach MC’s Strawberry Cottage, a remote hut 5 miles down a track at the western end of Loch Affric.
An active, sociable
turnout of Derwent MC members at the Roaches on a lovely sunny day with many very enjoyable routes climbed by all, including on sight leads ranging from Diff. to E4.

This year the winter meet was held in Aviemore at the FRCC hut, Karn House. An unlikely base (in a housing estate to the north of the village) it was comfortable and well-appointed and a reasonable drive to our destination hills.
