Sentier Martel

The Gorges du Verdon, deepest gorge in europe. We did the interesting Sentier Martel along the gorge base. Named after the first surveyor of the gorge.

What is it ?

Give way to Ascenders !

This sign shows how you must give way to ascenders going up the Echelles (ladders) on the sentier Martel in the Gorge du Verdon, French Alpes-Maritimes.

Quecha base tent

Just waiting for showers to stop to get the tent dried off. Drove back yesterday from France. Avignon to Glasgow in 24hrs. this Base tent by Decathlon worked well for shade, living space and in a thunderstorm. The campsite above was the Municipal one in la Palud high up on the Verdon Gorge plateau.

Kayaking on Loch Lomond

We got six brand new boats at work, Perception Arcs. So, time to get them unwrapped ! DJ eager to get them unpacked and out on the loch.

Sunny Seal watching

Seal watching at Rhu Marina, Clyde Gareloch. Nine seals in total. We drifted past using a tidal eddy.

The Navy Navigation Lighthouse at the end of Rhu spit.

Do I still have to paddle ? No, we can just drift on the wind. You can just make out the wee trolley, cheap in Decathlon.

A wee ruined tower, just past the RNCYC pier.

The canoe tied up.

Wee trolley came in handy for the 100yds back to my parents hoose. Now time for flapjacks.
