The good and the bad

Let's start off with the bad, shall we? The dog. Anybody want a dog? Free to good home! He woke us up far too early this morning by whining to be let out, which usually means he needs to relieve himself. Sure enough, he shot up the hill like a rocket. I left him to it and went back to bed (he always let's us know when he wants to be let back in). I must have dozed off, as I was awoken an hour and a half later by him barking outside. He had returned but was absolutely coated in cow manure. He stank. Andy reminded him in his own way that that was not a good thing to have done and then we set about cleaning him down. That pooch was in the dog house. Andy reckons he was after a shag from the the unspayed bitch up the hill. Either way, that is no excuse for his behaviour!

Now for the good...... Climbing! Beautiful day today. So we headed over to a limestone outcrop which is over the Col de Port, above Rabat les 3 Seigneurs. It was a stiff, uphill walk-in which took 30 mins, but it was worth it. We had the place to ourselves. The rock was pristine and the weather perfect. The view down to Tarascon from the top of one of the routes was amazing. It was good to get my leading head on and we both enjoyed the amazing rock
The highlight for me was leading a 32m long 5a. More please!
