beatiful little village by a river. Walked along the river bank beside lovely limestone faces for a mile or so and climbed in an old quarry. Lots of ring bolts, short routes (20-30m) and solid rock. It got a bit greasy as the rain squalls came through, but the sun shone in between. After 4 routes (enough for geriatrics) we headed back to the pub and indulged in food and beer - they practically give it away here (compared to England).
Not so easy to crawl back up to the station and catch the train after 3 pints each! The railway system is a bit rickety...trains are fine but the staions and platforms would cause a few passenger saftery concerns!
We hope to head south in a hire car tomorrow to a granite crag called Roviste...with any luck the weather wont be any worse than today and we get a few climbs in. It is supposed to get wet after tomorrow, so then it will be sight seeing time!
