"Of course they hate us here, we're English"

So, I've been to Corsica recently to go climbing. This post is pretty much going to be some of my favourite shots from that, along with a very eclectic mix of other stuff. Most of the shots from the trip were climbing related so if that's not your thing, well tough luck.

Starting with a few random frames
We love our cleaning here

Pre-trip gear audits are boring and a severe cause of rope burn.
Went out for dinner

On the way to Corsica, we had to stay at Toulon, France for a little while. Sniped these two having a pretty noisy conversation

Lots of army and navy folk around the harbour.
We wasted time the only way we know on a beach: sunbathing.

Stopped off for the worst iced coffee ever.




A lot of this happened on the ferry trips.


Inquisitive babies make for endless entertainment. The mother looked ready to pass out

On with climbing photos!




Rock elves can be found around that region of the island



Apparently the entire island is full of militants that go around shooting the crap out of roadsigns and abandoned quarry vehicles completely unchecked. If you happen to be a rusty, old truck and find yourself in that area, fear for your very life.

More climbing.



Some of the expressions cracked me up during this.



It actually rained one day, which was depressing.


Hey look, more climbing

Probably my favourite climbing shot from the trip.

Teaching a kid with a serious rat-tail how to fish.
We climbed this in flip flops to watch the sun set. And who says climbing isn't safe?


Steve finally did this move after a good 20 attempts.

He was pretty stoked about it

And, of course, cheese.


Boredom on the ferry home

This guy was trying his luck so hard with these girls. Apparently French charm will only get you so far.




Back home, on the way to Cambridge for the day


Street buskers are getting more inventive these days.

And so that's it. Hopefully some more in the not too distant future. Hope your week's going well. Sorry for the lack of comments.
