Back to Orpierre we went.

Lara woke up this morning and announced "we are going climbing in Orpierre today" (so much for the 'we make joint desicions like a married couple' that I stated yesterday). So we bundled into the car and drove the 40 or so minutes there, the weather was looking like it was going to be a great day and it did not dissapoint.

Our aim for to day was the 'Quatre Heure' sector which has lots of easy multi pitch slab climbing for us to clock up the miles on. Lara Above at the end of the first pitch on 'Super Mouton' a two pitch 5a and 5b.Another one of the wife at the top of a two pitch route which for the life of me I can not remember and do not have the gudie book to hand. It was a great afternoon, only stopping from climbing to eat the Fucas that we had bougth from the local boulangerie at home for lunch. think we managed to do four 2 pitch routes and 2 single pitch routes. Not bad for the notouriously slow british climbers!Lara abseilling down off the top pitch of our last climb of the day. Was a great day, saw many lizards and ants the size of hamsters! These ants were quite angry little things that came for you, and when they did, they were great fun to flick off the rock! tee hee hee. I am an animal lover honest.

So got home and I cooked dinner, and have found that both our shoulders are a little bit pinky from the sun. It is probably the first time my back has seen the sun for some time as has Lara's. Looks like the weather is finally picking up then!

Wonder what I will be told we are doing tomorrow.....
