Roquefixade Castle - one of the nicer days

Three and a bit months after leaving the UK we rolled back into the Pyrenees, almost a year and a half since we last passed through on our way to Croatia. It is always good to be back as it is great area with loads to do and usually - except in the skiing season - really quiet. The two surviving cats (Tiger and Zen) we pleased to see us - or at least the lady who controls 'the white box' and were happy to be inside during the unseasonably weather that greeted us.

We have arrived in a cold and unsettles spell as happens in the mountains, with occasional frosts interspersed with rainy spells - usually at night, which is leaving the crags a bit damp and manky. I am four routes short of 500 for the year, it would be nice to tick those last few before the year is out! 

New Year is approaching soon - we need to find somewhere to go that won't be full of noisy revellers - I actually slept in the car one year!
