14th May Walk

It was a lovely walk,

steep to start of with, very enjoyable

with lovely views

and a very relaxing and enjoyable lunch afterwards.

We want to declare Michel ''Hero Of the Walking Club'' as he saved Mazzel's life today.
He was the one who spotted a panicky Mazzel in the slurry pit and shouted for help.
No way the dog could have climbed out herself.
She would certainly have drowned if it was not for Michel!!
Thanks a million, we are forever grateful.
Bregtje and Paul

Biking up a mountain


One of our walkers, Martin Feeney, is off to Mont Ventoux next week to cycle up it - he is clearly bored with life in Auty...! However, he is doing this for Odyssea, which is the charity for Breast Cancer here in France. So, should you wish to sponsor Martin, either contact him on 05 63 03 22 59, or drop him an email (his address is on this mail).

For those of you who don't know, Mont Ventoux is1909m/6263ft above sea level.

Good luck to Martin and his friend, David Lawson, who is cycling alongside him.

Tilly Caborn

Just to let you know that Tilly isn't in the best of "walking form" at the present time, we would like to wish her well and we're thinking of her. Let's hope it's not long before the walking boots are out again.

Milhars 30 Avril

Please let Helen know if you are coming to lunch after this walk, the meal is at the Segalar (12 euros). See you there.

Cornusson to Cornerave


Nice view of the Chateau

Not just dogs and humas who turn out - very sweet, but too small to eat!!

A good turn out again

Lost your bike Martin!?

It has rained a little round these parts

A lovely day, despite rain being promised, a good turn out and a lunch for those who worked up a good hunger.

Saint Michel de Vax Walk


A good walk - sorry to have missed it
