High above the road between St Martin de Londres and Ganges lies St Josef...
Terry and John Hollands are climbing at Pic St Loup, near Montpellier...
We'd set the alarm to get us out early today; it failed!
To make up for the disappointment of not going to Pembroke and enjoying the fantastic weather (thank you again Met Office), after much "Where shall we go?", Ben and I headed out west of Dumfries to Miekle Ross...
It was cloudy in the valley today so we decided to venture in to Switzerland to try out Bravo Lapp - a route recommended to us by Henri Bouillet, a great friend of Smiler.
With the forecast amended to sunshine, but with a cool air temp ruling out the high crags, to escape the crowds in Borrowdale Ben and I chose Gouther Crag in Swindale for a bit of trad mileage.
With a bank holiday weekend to play with, a trip to Pembroke for some sun-kissed sea cliff action seemed the way forward. As the weather forecast nose-dived as the weekend approached though, a late call to instigate Plan B was made.
Amazing "summer" weather in Chamonix today - a bit unexpected really, the forecast had suggested a chance of a shower and a föhn wind...
A gorgeous afternoon sailing on San Francisco Bay...
