Autumn is Here

Calames and mackerel sky
 We climbed with Colin around Briançon for a few days then he was away to Spain with a car load of stuff he was transporting. We stayed a little longer then headed down to Buis le Baronnies, where, once again it was too hot for comfort. There was some confusion about our leaving date, and on the Wednesday morning we had to pack the car in a rush and hit the road. We headed to Chez Arran a day early, luckily they had space for us.

In the event, John's contract to work in South Sudan was late, so we were only needed for two day's cat sitting - the two week's free accommodation was a bonus.

Through the autumnal parks
We got a bit of climbing done but my first ever bout of sciatica put a dampener on things - pretty unpleasant, though manageable through walking and stretching exercises.

Next we are heading west to check out the Haute Pyrenees, last time we were over that way, last February, everything was snow-bound!
