6 routes.

Many beers sunk later.

CLimbing with Lynne. Arginonta valley - rained off in the end. but good.

Very hot horrendous "run" in Kalymnos - should have stayed on roads - could hardly move off them! (ie paths - very stony). km splits down to 12 minutes on the paths under crags.

knocked out a 4:01 & 4:08 consecutive Kms on return to road, out of sheer frustration - which gave me the shits, but that's the heat too. ouch!

Climbed all day at Poets with Shaunagh.

Did one 6b.

Kalymnos: climbed all day with Lynne, about 6 excellent routes up to 6b. wowsers.

Beer. yeah.

Morning near M25 with the Copeland sisters, and then travel to Kos, via Gatwick, and on boat to Kalymnos, got to my apartment at midnight, still buzzing from the JK.

Now to climb. Urm, how?

JK replay, pippingford park, leg 3, M120+ team.

silver like last year, but no Clive, who'd been "promoted" to a "more likely to win" M165+ team (but came 5th)

Geoff made an error on leg 1 and was well down (he was clearly shattered as well), but Ifor ran fine, and i took over with no pressure & just cruised round on easy ground for 2nd place. Didn't feel too tired & was able to run hard up the gradual hill at the end. Another team was about a minute down (the Swiss), but i wasn't feeling threatened. FVO mispunched on leg 1 - oopsey! (a bridge)
