Even though it is not winter yet, the fall? is still dark and wet around here. No ice and only cold wet rock or plastic to be climbed. I decided to cure the blues by spending a week on the <\/span>Island<\/span> of <\/span>Corsica<\/span> in the <\/span>Mediterranean Sea<\/span>. That was one great idea! <\/span>Corsica<\/span> is simply a fantastic place. Sunny sculptured granite, sandy beaches and beautiful nature. Even in late October it was possible to? take a refreshing dip in the sea. The air temperature was hovering around 23 degrees during the day, the water around 20 – just perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Col de Bavella is without doubt the Premier climbing location on the <\/span>island<\/span> of <\/span>Corsica<\/span>. A road from Sulenzara on the East coast, to the town of <\/span>Zonza<\/span>? splits the <\/span>Col<\/span> down its middle. A Stop on the valley rim is almost obligatory by all new comers to the area and gives you time to take in the view and then photograph it.? <\/span><\/p>\n

Another fine location? is the <\/span>beach<\/span> of <\/span>Roccapina<\/span>. A wonderful sandy beach surrounded by yellow granite. Read more about this place and other Corsican climbing sites? at Planetfear.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to explore the old towns of <\/span>Corsica<\/span> you might take a look at Bonifacio located on the extreme south of the island. The famous action movie The Guns Of Navarone<\/a> <\/em>was shot here. We went on a sea trip from Bonifacio and had a chance to see Bonfacios waterfront. Very impressive!<\/span><\/p>\n
