Is it Calpe?

Or are you on about the pink freckly one, with the obvious horizontal foot-holds running across it? :)

When I was there for a month last December you could only get to the other side of the tunnel and then it was blocked off. Did see people at top but they must have claimed over the gate.
@bigtree was the gate open?

I'm guessing that your not in Glasgow today lol. Or perhaps you've climbed to the top of the necropolis (y)

Well done, looks like you got the right weather & magnificent views from this wonderful vantage point.
BTW its pissing down in Scotland today, so thanks for posting these uplifting photo's.

It's Penon de Ifach at Calpe as someone else has guessed,we seem to be losing the Fun factor on the forum this weather going by the amount of sarcastic comments.Is this due to my Motogp faux pas or the way things are going as i have seen quite a bit of this lately.They have improved the path after the tunnel and removed the gate but definitely not wheel chair friendly.Think my days of contributing on here are coming to an end.:unsure:

No, you just look like a bloke with red hair that's been in the sun - hence the pinkness and freckles and I assumed the footholds were the same ones most of the rest of us have - sorry if cancer caused them but I really wasn't at all aware that any kinds of it did that, being as they look so natural. And it was a joke, hence my :)

Was it Calpe?

Well done Trev, I have been as far as the tunnel, ;) and the path was closed ( thank God ) :LOL: But Janie and the gang want to go up there, so I told her and I would say she is already planning. :eek: (y) Bob.

Ps If your around Javea anytime you could go up Montgo, I have many happy peaceful hours while their up there. :ROFLMAO:

HI, there are 2 campsites, camping javea is where our friends are that walk with Janie and they walk from there about 3 and a half hours up to the top.
They should be going early next week if you wanted escorting ;)
You are more than welcome.:LOL:
The other site is camping naranjal or some freeloaders are parking near scallops at the moment I don't think they are moving them on yet, but the builders make a lot of noise and been pile driving. :eek:
Or you could ride the bike up the road to Denia from Javea over the top park near the shooting range and walk from there it's about 2 hours. :D Bob.

How about riding up Mont Ventoux on a push bike rather than motorbike - now that is exercise:cycle::imoutahere:
@BMStewart2004 Did that last year on my 29r MTB,took me 3 hours 25 minutes but also gave me an infection which had to be treated with antibiotics.(n)

More fun and less strenuous camping at the top. Had to turn the van around to face the wind at 2am as it was rocking so much & the bike cover got torn to shreds. They don't call it the "Windy Mountian" for nothing.:D
That's what I call wild camping.:LOL:

Went up on Gran Fondo Mont Ventoux in June. 29 degrees in the valley, 10 cloud and wind at the top. Not a very nice climb as they go, boring through the tree's. Stopped to pay respects to Tom Simpson memorial.
