Back to the UK and 'summer'

Escape from Alcatraz
We had planned to stay in Kalymnos for another couple of weeks but day on day it got hotter and hotter, topping out at around 40C - way to hot for us. So we brought our flights/hotel/train/car hire forward and rolled up to the harbour to find the ferry was cancelled - oh, oh.

Sherri set about working her magic and after a few goes she found a guy who had a 'friend' - so off we went. Another guy turned up and we hopped into small inflatable for the eight mile journey to Kos. Luckily it was flat calm as there were no life jackets on offer. The rest of the journey went more normally!

Above the Roaches, bright and breezy
Back in the UK it was the same sketch as ever, cool, breezy and quite unsettled, but at least we weren't being roasting alive. A few days away in Leek gave me the chance to refresh the Staffordshire area cragshots, hopefully we will do the same for Lancashire sometime soon - if the weather ever improves!
