And the next one is….
Whilst wandering around Nice I was enticed intothe Papeterie Rontani shop by the IGN map poster. Came out with the brand new FFRP (www.ffrandonnee.fr) 15th edition of the Topoguide to GR20 Á travers la montagne corse. A quick nip down to the harbour confirms that in mid June (about earliest that snow should be gone) […]
The Nice Sea
Made it the Med at 6pm and threw my stick in. Must say the Nice people keep it well hidden took ages wandering the streets, thank goodness for GPS. Now for a beer and somewhere to stay. Fly home Wed arrive midday..Cheers to all Sent from Geoff’s Treo650
A Nice Day…
The weather is not at all nice on my Nice day. Its been raining cats and dogs with the odd roll of thunder and flash of lightening since I left Utelle 3.5 hours ago with most of the track converted into a watercourse Currently I am holed up in a Rapido cafe in Levens with […]
Day 22 St. Dalmas-Valdemore to Utelle
Interesting 8 hour day covering the 16 miles and just under 3000ft of elevation in around 6 hours of walking.Spent most of the day with my head (and body) in thick cloud with visibility only at 5 metres or so, great for vertigo sufferers as most of morning was walking along a ridge. I met […]
Days 20&21 Auron – Roure – St. Dalmas-Valdeblore
Yesterday was another long day, 23miles with over 5500ft of ascent due to me being told that one refuge was closed and the other full. I started with another piste, going up the hard way, to Col du Blainon then a lovely descent to Roya (whose gíte apparently has the best chef on the GR5) […]
Sorry Michael…
I settled on the pression grande and fromage baguette (notice how my French is galloping on) and decided to press on through the Lauzanier valley rather than the bottle of red wine.My excuse is there where no pretty girls about. Hold on who is that coming towards me? You could have been right Michael they […]
Larche or beyond
Arrived in Larche recreated in 1944 after the village was dynamited by the retreating forces. Now who is against the EU? Personally I don’t understand the anti EU brigade at all! If it means that we can live peacefully without frontiers (and it is VERY noticeable all the abandoned frontier posts, castles etc along the […]
Day 17 Ceillac to Fouillouze
The perfect day, the day you only dream about, walking across landscapes that Doc Searls gets to photo out of aeroplane windows. Incredible weather blue skys low 20’s doesnt get any better than this. Great 3500ft climb first through forests then around the vivid turquoise Lac Sainte-Anne in blissful silence (even the Marmots were quite […]
Day 16 GR5 Aiguilles to Ceillac
I (or more precisely the hotel owner) arranged for a taxi to pick me up at 8.30 and to drop me up off at Cháteau Queyras to resume my perambulations on the GR5. My left knee still had twinges of pain so I breakfasted on Nurofen super strength pills and vowed to take it easy […]
