Another beautiful day in the Alps, well this bit of the Alps. Was up in Ste Foy today, first time for over a week and the cover was mostly very good, but where the sun had got at the snow it's going fast. Very slushy on the areas exposed to the full sun and as it get darker it sucks in more UV and gets warmer and slushier (is that a word? it is now!)
The forecast is for colder weather as this week goes on and maybe some snow though it seems to be falling all around, just not here.
I enjoyed the trip back to Scotland and my thoughts are turning to the spring in the NW highlands. Am booked to go sea kayaking and then have some time before the summer work kicks in so will try to wander up a few hills and try to catch some trout too.
Must get climbing this year. Its an advantage of getting older that I no longer feel the need to try and drag my willing but unable body up bits of rock that are too hard. i want to revisit some the classic climbs that i did 30 years (shit, that long??) ago or even those I missed the first time round.
Might go to Morzine later in the week to catch up with friends there, think I need a bit of a social evening or two.
