Winter sun chez Pete & Laetita...
With all this sunshine about, I couldn't resist any longer and went to Malham today with Sarah. Waking up to a frost, the extra gloves, hats and down jacket came too, along with a flask of hot coffee.
The blog has been devoid of cakes for some time, and to help with the depression caused by a lack of activity due to the flu, we went to our favorite cake shop: Aux Petits Gourmands. To make me feel like I’d earned it, I cleaned the windows. :good:
Over the weekend we travelled to Portland, via EasyJet to Bournemouth airport and a free night in the Bornemouth Marriott hotel, for the Climbers' Club AGM. Some commitment eh?
The final Dark and White Mini Mountain Marathon finally took place after two consecutive postponements due to snow. This was third time lucky; the weather was perfect!
We had winter skills training up in Scotland this weekend with the rescue team, so Li'l Pete and I decided to take advantage by going up a day early and getting in a cheeky route on the Ben.
Laurence and Maddie have gone home now, but here's a quick update on the last couple of days of their adventures in Chamonix and Les Houches learning to ski...
I’ve been trying to sort out a live webcam feed from Chamonix for far too long… The camera was tricky to sort out, then the software was tricky too! But today I finally filled the void with a live feed of the view of Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc: Live weather information from Chamonix
