Cruising with Mr Blow

Autumn in the Briançonaise - gorgeous

 Colin duly arrive after a 15 hour epic drive from the Channel, though heavy rain most of the way, finally grounding his car by dropping it off a hidden a kerb in Briançon, a couple of miles from the pad. We went out to find him, the recovery truck was already in the act of lifting the car back onto the road - and relieving Colin of €150!

It rained for the first couple of days - how inevitable is that - we managed to squeeze in a damp trip up the Via Ferrata at the Rocher de Bez? 

Then things perked up nicely and we have since climbed on a whole variety of crags, in great conditions with very few people about. 

Just one week to go and the peace and quiet will descend again and we will have to make plans.
