Hmmmmmmm... bit of a cold snap in Europe. Lucky it's only going to last couple of days!

Monday 24 April 2017

Nothing like first Tourmalet of the year to clear the effects of a weekend of slight excess wink Lovely day for it! grin

Wednesday 18 January 2017

Driving up to La Mongie after fresh snowfall. 4x4 on snow tyres is pretty impressive here. Feels like a normal day smile

Saturday 14 January 2017

Random views from the local roads we travel almost daily. Ever changing mountain scenery never disappoints!

Friday 13 January 2017

Pratiwi didn't want to go for a short stroll today, but after being talking into it, turns out it was fun! grin

Friday 13 January 2017

Looks like there's been a nearby accident involving a truck of icing sugar & it's blown all over the place! wink

Monday 19 December 2016

Lac de Gaube. Frozen. Wow! View aside, sound of the ice popping & cracking echoing around was absolutely incredible!

Monday 19 December 2016

So... the alternate walking route from Pont d'Espagne up to Lac de Gaube. Almost as pretty as the summer path?

Monday 19 December 2016

Stroll at Pont d'Espagne: But 10m in & we found path covered in thick ice. No crampons so time to find another way!

Monday 28 November 2016

Afternoon stroll: Col de Beyrede to ridge above. Just made snow line. Spectacular & one of the best short walks here!

Sunday 18 September 2016

First snow of the season fell on the Pic du Midi couple days back & more yesterday by the looks. #ViewFromOurDoorstep

Wednesday 4 May 2016

First Tourmalet ascent of the year. Last 3km closed to cars, but not bikes! grin As usual, sucks to be a car driver! tongue

Tuesday 26 April 2016

When in Provence... grin 3° up top + 70kph wind chill equals completely numb fingers on the descent. Fun times! wink grin

Sunday 24 January 2016

Views of today's ride. Unseasonably warm so popped up the Col du Soulor - as you do wink Nice snowy view at the top! smile

Saturday 19 December 2015

Today's ride in glorious sunshine: Col du Tourmalet. Well... as much as was possible. Didn't bring my skis! wink

Saturday 5 December 2015

Live segments test at Hautacam. Verdict: Absolute torture! Spectacular day: wearing shorts & just 2 layers up top! grin

Tuesday 24 November 2015

Crisp morning here! Walking into the village for a look around.

Monday 24 August 2015

Tourist road 520 from Røldalsvatnet (lake way below the hairpins) to Sauda. Almost got blown over taking last shots!

Sunday 23 August 2015

Rest of today's ride (Hildal to Hara): Stunning mountain pass left traffic free as main road now runs in a tunnel! grin

Friday 7 August 2015

At least Pratiwi dressed for the conditions! Nice shoes! tongue wink

Friday 7 August 2015

Crossing the highest mountain pass in Norway. Snow & iceberg strew lakes abound. And this is the middle of summer!

Wednesday 29 July 2015

Rode from fjord 1,500m up to Dalsnibba, where on a clear day should be able to see the start. Not today, too misty sad

Monday 21 January 2013

Passing through Lincoln so stopped by the cathedral. Unlike most over in France there's no free entry here though sad

Sunday 20 January 2013

Oh no... not another pub lunch! wink tongue This time it's Barton's Mill. And a snowy stroll by the river after. Nice! smile

Thursday 3 January 2013

My lil' snow angel wink grin

Thursday 3 January 2013

La Cascade d'Ars, in a semi-frozen state. And the view below. Well worth the hour or so walk.

Thursday 3 January 2013

Hiking up to Cascade d'Ars. Passing other small streams then snow (sometimes deep) above 800m or so. Awesome walk! smile

Saturday 29 December 2012

Sunrise on moving day. Time to follow these lights down the mountain and then on to our next destination...

Friday 28 December 2012

Final morning here & this is better! 7+ hours on the piste to finish the week. Hurrah! grin

Thursday 27 December 2012

Snow outside the chalet this morning. Popped out for couple of hours, but rest was probably due. Had lazy afternoon.

Monday 24 December 2012

Back from the slopes in time for a little fun outside the chalet smile

Saturday 22 December 2012

As night begins to fall... ♫ ♪ Let it snow, ♩ let it snow, ♪ ♫ let it snow ♫ grin

Saturday 22 December 2012

Some time after arriving in Les Menuires we finally find the chalet... this looks promising! grin

Friday 14 September 2012

Messing around at Passo del Gavia. Pratiwi showing how to throw &... erm... 'catch' snowballs. And make a snowman wink

Wednesday 8 February 2012

Pratiwi posing in the snow in Dad's garden. Does this mean we're acclimatised now? smile
