La Foret de Fontainebleau

Following the wedding we've had a week away in la foret on honeymoon number one. Once again we had near perfect weather – surely it never rains in this magical place?! Even the French fuel shortages and strikes didn’t dampen our sprits. We visited l’Elephant, Bas Cuvier, Cuvier Rampart, Gorges aux Chats, Rocher Canon. P had a great week, ticking a fair number of 6c’s and 7a’s, including Orca, La Coeur, and Duroxmanie. I enjoyed myself but didn’t repeat my 6a feats from our last proper visit. Some fairly serious attempts were made on Le Trou Simon and Greve des Mains, among others. We had one day of light showers, which coincided with a national strike, so we walked down to the local town and had lunch and walked back. We treated ourselves to staying in campsites, using both the Gres-sur-Loing campsite and Les Musardieres. Many croissants and pain au chocolat were consumed and I think I put some weight on!
