Long ink drawing of Stanage Edge

Another drawing of Stanage Edge up on my website http://www.tessalyons.co.uk/stanage-edge-the-peak-district/

This was drawn sitting outside crouched behind a drystone wall, failing to take shelter from the wind...

Climbing in Kalymnos, Greece

I recently returned from a climbing holiday on the Greek island of Kalymnos. We spent a couple of weeks climbing the most extraordinary rock with caves full of stalactites and big overhanging pockety walls. I'm more of a balancey technical climber so it took me a while to get into the swing of it, but once i did, i loved it! I miss the long days spent climbing, the amazing food, the clattering goats around the crags and the smell of thyme underfoot...i hope to go back one day
