Well we put the miles in from Zeebrugge and arrived a day early with the drive getting more exciting as we came closer to Gites la Breche (-16 and the odd snow flurry!). Today we visited La Grave and climbed a route called La Nuit sera Fraiche – really nice route but … it was still somewhere between -10 and -16 all day. Rather chilly. MUST wear more clothes tomorrow :). The guidebook says a nice 3+ but today it seemed rather tough (or may be that was me!). to say we only did one route we are all feeling rather tired this evening. Best bit was the MEGA bumslide down!

OOO! how fantastic you brave alpinists! Love the spikey boots, love the views even more! I braved the dizzy and slippery heights of erm.. Ilam on Sunday (the steps were very icy) …from little acorns mighty oaks grow and all that! luv K
Nice photo of La nuit sera fraiche. Very useful as it reminded me my freezer needs defrosting. Keep those Nomics well polished!
Stay safe.
