we didnt watch all of the boat that rocked. Its now the third night we have tried and got through another half an hour. not that its log - its ok, but that we have been bushwacked. So, that was then, this is now - whats been going on? yesterday we got up and went to bois ronds to do an orange circuit. These arent so much problems as a mountain circuit - which take you crawling up and over and de manteling boulders - scary and v.polished. So we got to about 15 or something, then the rain started. Sacked it to Barbizon for a look around and had lunch in a creperie. Lovely. Sun came out again whilst we were in there and we headed back out for an afternoon session. This time to Apremont. Confusing, and a bit jumbly. Not very impressed. Noticed thats where l'alchemiste is but couldnt be bothered to go and find it. Both a bit tired. Drive to petrol station on edge of font and buy chocolate - much better. Now to Bas Cuvier - remarkably quiet. Lovely. Do something opposite Cortomaltese, then cortomaltese. First 7a of the trip. Wait for italians to leave carnage and set about that. It goes down! very pleased, and only about 500 goes. Brilliant. Try Berezina, lots of wack beta ideas before 'ow eeet feeeels and then get to top slopers and fluff it. Never get back there. Need to go back tomorrow. Pretty much last people there, get back to car as night falls. Dylog stew for tea.
Today - beautiful when we woke up, straight up and out to Hautes plaines. Pretty log to be honest. Have place to ourselves - its early, but again - mountain routes proving a poor choice for beginners as they involve slimy mantles on polished bosses. A fuck load of english goons arrive and we leave in disgust. To go to have a quick look at Fata Morgana. cant work out what to do - trying to over complicate things and use the holds inbetween - also turns out I was trying to do the sitter. You were right all of you - it is pretty log. Rain starts. Go to look at the cyclops in milly - cool. Now to market in milly, but caged ducks a bit upsetting, so buy some consolatory fromage and pop back to maison bleau for a coffee.
Now Sabots. Meet Andy and Michelle and Nik Jennings and family. Bumble round some reds with them, lovely weather. Manage to coerce them into coming to Eclipse with me - and for a spot on le toits de cul de chien. After a few fanny goes having the fear manage to do it. Very pleased. So scared at top do involuntary one armer on dinner plate. Dont think show off, think abject terror! not very brave. Now eclipse. Nearly f*ing do it, but starts to condense and have to sack it. Very excited. Last day tomorrow and there are accounts to close....
