Trip to the sunny South of France last week , with a visit to the Ariege region - near the Andorra border - Scenery was impressive and varied from rolling countryside, limestone gorges, high mountain lakes, roadside bolted crags / high mountain routes ( Dent de Orlu looks good ) , Via Ferrata's, canoeing, mountain biking, walks, cafes, caves, castles, e.t.c - a week was far too short !We had an excellent base to explore the area from Anne and John Arran's converted farmhouse http://www.chezarran.com . Thanks to both for their warm welcome and for arranging the weather!
