North Coast Line


The Sun setting

Sardinia is a Island close to Corsica and belonging to Italy, it has some amazing scenery and is an outdoor play ground!! The island mainly being made up of Lime stone has some amazing climbing area's and the most amazing cave systems!!
We decided to venture out to the east coast! so we flew into the capital Aleghero and hired a car to drive across the island!!

We stayed at friendly family bed and breakfast in Dorgali for 3 nights! we had amazing veiws out to the mountains and to the coast!! The local village was shut down because we were there out of season but as ever, we could still find a place to have a beer and a local italian pizza!!

The first full day we were there the weather was amazing around 25 degrees, so we ventre out to a local sport climbing area called calla fuilli! there's so much climbing to be done here, anything from 3a up to 8c singla nad multi pitch!!

We managed about 6 climbs, most of them around 5a and singlr pitch however i did read the guide book wrong and found myself on a lot harder route that was a 2 pitch!! Good clean fun!!
