This years tour would grow on all the things we had learned on the years before. Bryon and I would drive out and spend two weeks initially back in the la Grave area, doing some day routes to get fit, with Chris flying out and join us for second half.
We were all of a compatible standard and seemed to understand each others capabilities well, so expectations were very similar.
The other change was that we would make more use of gites after the experiment the previous year, and it was to this end that we drove out to Arsine, past Villar d'Arenne. We had got the gite from the tourist office in La Grave. Gite le pas de l'Ane
We had the gite to our selves to start with, and fully intended to use it as a self catering bunk house, but soon succumbed to the benefits of half board.
Upstairs was a bunk house, and the common room was comfortable, especially while we were on our own.
