It was a full family turn out in Mallorca for my parents 40th wedding anniversary we were staying in the north of the island but Mallorca is so small that you can get to any of the crags fairly eas ily. We started the week visiting the bug crag of Sa Gubia climbing the long Le ley del deseo 5+ which was fairly sporty for the grade, the next day we visited the road side crag of SÂ’estret near Valldemossa which has some great routes. We had a break from climbing on Wednesday hiring some sea kayaks and exploring the local coast line. Thursday we hired some road bikes from the excellent www.procyclehire.com who have a great range of bikes at very competitive prices. We went for a long ride with my Triathlete brother which was a bit of a beasting and involved 2 thunderstorms cycling in the dark and being rescued by my dad, enough said. A day of recovery was required after this so we all went horse riding not the best recovery from a sore back side but great fun. Saturday we climbed at La Crevete with Roy and Dee then Kate and I went to a steep crag on Cap Formentor. Kate and I went back to Sa Guibia on Sunday and climbed the long Albahida a 7 pitch trad route with some great scrambling to finish. We stayed in Deia which is beautiful traditional village on the west coast of the island no Sky TV and full English breakfasts here just great Mallorcan food wine and hospitality. We managed a morning climbing at the road side crag at Valldemossa before heading for the airport.
