Cap Blanc-Nez

Wednesday, 24th August 2022

One final instalment to the Chamonix ’22 trip and the journey home – back when Ian and I went out to France in June we stopped in a super cheap hotel in Calais the night before our early ferry back to Dover. We ate dinner in a simple bar in town and noted that the …

Vertus, and Champagne!

Wednesday, 24th August 2022

It was time to leave Chamonix, the weather was poor there for a few days so an early escape from the rain promised sunny dry rock and adventure elsewhere. We plotted a route home via what looked like a very interesting limestone crag in the middle of the flatlands of the beautiful Champagne region…

Lakes Staycation

Friday, 8th April 2022

In these times when we are all becoming that much more aware of our carbon footprints it has to be right to limit the number of flights we take right? Well we think so. But of course we are fortunate to live in a world-class tourist destination! The weather wasn’t perfect, which was a bit …

Skiing and avoiding Covid

Friday, 8th April 2022

We always reckon February is the best month to ski in the Alps … it has perhaps the best chance of fresh powder and soft snow, slightly longer days, and a fair chance of sunshine kissed weather! However, we last skied in France in February 2020, just before the Covid pandemic took the world into …
