Blanca Business Trip

One of the occupants of the Cat Village
Six weeks since we left Chez Arran - not too much climbing done which is disappointing but a lot of photography sorted - both regular and with the drone. We had a couple of weeks in Villajoyosa, then move south to La Matta/Torrevieja - which was hot and busy though we did stop in a superb modern pad there, with the added attraction of the 'Cat Village' - a protected area for feral cats right next door. That gave Sherri a few mouths to feed, and we even got the occasional visitor (Sox) which was nice. The nearby salt lagoons were also an interesting spot, with some great birding on offer.

Then it was north to Denia, the area we stopped on our first visit to the Costa Blanca in 1987. It was windy there, which rather restricted the drone flying, though we still got plenty of crag-shots 'in the can'. We aim to be back in the area in the autumn to continue to work towards the new book, due out in a couple of years.
Next it is northwards to Montserrat - I haven't climbed there for many years - time to rectify that if possible.
