Well we’re still in France, currently 50m from the med and its sunny. Wind has gone which is annoying as I want to get the kite out! Pleasant spot so will chill here for the day/night. Week 9 blog is HERE and if you want to see the entire trip…
All okay here though our stocks of Nurafen have run out – that tells a story! Weeks 7 & 8 diary blog is now uploaded here Trip index (including photo links) is here We’re now heading south-west slowly, still in France, and just seeing where fate will take us!
Today I managed to get a couple of final hours of boarding in – pelvis and neck sore so wasn’t that fluid on the board, but I survived! Lovely day here today but no fresh snow or any forecast, so we’re heading SW slowly towards Montpellier via all the little…

Yes – had our first bloody injury here. Nothing too serious. I dropped my razor when shaving and it cut my finger. It would not have been so bad if it wasn’t a Gillette Fusion 5 blade job – so 5 parallel cuts and a lot of blood. 🙁 Could…
Wow. What a contrast. 6-7cm of snow yesterday and the slopes are superb. On top of that they are fairly empty as people are back at work. So today was an excellent days snow boarding. I spent most time with Mel coaching her (like I’m an expert!?) down some reds…
OK – s’pose we can’t gumble that much. We’ve not had a decent dump of snow yet this year and as its getting a bit warmer, the roads in Valloire and paths are like (well, actually are) sheet ice. Cue a few falls when out and about… Snow has been…
