After a break of more than 2 years, I made, yesterday, my first tentative efforts at climbing a mountain! When I say mountain, I should really be honest and say mountain-hut, as my destination was the Refuge de Baroude ! It's still a 20 km round trip, with over 1000m of climbing. The climb to the hut took me a little over 3 hours, so not an exploit ! Even so, I was right chuffed as I had almost lost hope of ever doing something like this again !

As a reward, I bought myself half a bottle of wine and some cheese at the hut. It somehow tastes better at altitude !

I've uploaded a few photos to my album to immortalise the occasion !

In all my Pyrenean trips I seem always to have missed the Cirque de Barroude and Refuge. One day!

The mean buggers at UKC wouldn't publish my best photo: a still life of wine and cheese ! The others suffered from my slightly inebriated state !
You can't imagine just how happy I was to be there !

Oh but I can. I've spent many happy hours in Pyrenean huts. Great spirit of camaraderie, good food and wine.
