On Sunday I met up with the local bike club and did a road ride around the Lac De Serre Poncon. was a great ride but with no pictures as they were going way to fast to be able stop and get the camera out. Was in a group of 12 and I was the only one with non shaved legs - so watch this space (only joking......... or am I)
Monday we went for a search for trails around Ceuse. when we got there the route we wanted to do was still covered in snow so we opted for another route. I don't think many people have been up here yet as there is still a lot of debris from fallen trees etc across the trails, so hopefully in a few weeks things will be better, we still had a good fun ride with the promise of the some really good trails when the weather gets warmer 
Lara on the climb up, the cliff is really impressive.
And on the way down.
So Ceuse - we will be back when the weather has melted some more of the snow.
Tuesday we got in the van and drove just under an hour South west to Orpierre. This is a little town surrounding by climbing. We had two fantstic days climbing here, unfortunately the camera did not see much action, I really do not understand why, but we are dead keen to go back and climb some more there so next time we will definitely take more pictures.
Picture form the camp site. Things we learnt over the last few days:
- Lara is very good at climbing off route and going up harder routes as a result
- Dave is still a big girls blouse when it comes to climbing, but is getting better
- The rain on the roof of the van makes funny noises which sounds like it is leaking , but it is not.
- limestone is very grippy
- and, beer after a long days climbinG goes straight to ones head.
So, with a lot of rain last night, it looks like the mountiains have had a lot more snow in them! time to break out the skis again!
