We decided to get out of the rain by visiting a cave where water was literally pouring out of the ceiling.

A bit of an adventure exercise involving several zip lines and via ferrata. All four of us had a go.

Luz Saint Sauveur nestles at the base of the Col du Tourmalet, the most famous climb in the Tour de France.

A morning parkrun followed by breakfast and an unexpectedly slow drive along some French motorways.

A day of driving through France collecting occasional geocaches, ending at a spectacularly pretty chateau.

The annual UK Mega geocaching event was being held in Aberdeen. I know someone who lives there.

We didn’t see the devil himself, but he left a very big hole in the ground last time he was here.

I’m Hen-er-ry the Eighth I am, I am, I’m Hen-er-ry the Eighth I am. Making a family weekend out of the original parkrun.

A bit of driving and a bit of walking on the flat. Oh, and some cake. Light relief after the previous day.

Walking up some big hills on a fantastic day in November. You could see for miles and miles.
