Fantastic stuff. The sea at Sennen looks nuts in that photo. A little birdy just told me that an official Cornwall summer trip post is going up today...

Jack - if you go in the summer it might be HOT down at the sunny European sport crags. And don't forget the extra Ryanair charges (haven't found a way to take a rack and rope as hand luggage yet).
But do it, there is some great stuff in Sardinia for sure.

Few reasons why Cornwall is incredible:

> Golden Granite
> Pasties
> Cream Teas
> Bosigran Ridge
> Chair Ladder
> Sennen Cove
> More crazy multipitch badass sea cliff adventures than you can shake a stick at

And apparently three different rock types, within 10 minutes walk of each other. ( a few bouldering crags close together )

Bosigran sunset. The dragonspine feature in the foreground is Commando Ridge. The lights in the centre of the picture is where we'll be camping. Get excited boys and girls!

"little brown jug" and "doorpost" are two of the best, apparently. Can't wait!!
