Fontainebleau and the French Alps

Had a great two weeks with my daughter and friends climbing at Font and then moved down to the Alps for the second week were I ran several development programmes for a canoe club.  The weather throughout the two weeks was very good considering the confused climate in France this year.


In Font we climbed at Bas Cuvier, L'Elephant, and 95.2, the climbing was fantastic and amazing how strong you became after a few days.  The swimming pool in the evenings although cold was a welcoming sight.

In the Alps whilst I delivered the development programmes on white water including WWSR, BCU 4 Star Inland Training, personal coaching and advanced skills, my daughter, Jo and Mandi enjoyed the via ferrata, some kayaking and walked up to Glacier Blanc.
