Snow on the Canigou

Our annual pilgrimage to the Canigou was cut short this year as there was quite a heavy fall of snow the night before. We made it about half way up from 'base camp' ( Refuge des Cortalets) before turning around due to about a foot of snow and very bad visibility.
Sods law, the skies are blue, the sun is shining and the Canigou is winking down on us as I type. O well, there's always next year!
Spot of bother on the way up

Decision time... continue or descend..

Ok, let's build a snowman instead..


The bumpy ride down

Looks like it's Autumn

  1. Oh such a shame! We spent my birthday 16th Sept in Grenoble many years ago and in the mountains above we too had a snowball fight - never thought I would be doing that on my birthday.
