Crisp autumn weather – perfect for hiking
We said goodbye to the last of our summer families on Saturday, sending some very tired but happy people on their way home.
After some dramatic thunder and lightning storms (only at night! Our activities were never affected by them.) the weather changed over the weekend and we are now having days that are a mixture of sun and cloud but with a significant temperature drop. “Il fait froid” is a common greeting round the village now, as we start putting our jeans and jumpers back on.
While chilly if you are sat in an office on the pc (!) it is ideal activity weather, as it is pleasant but you aren’t getting too hot or too cold. Our last Multi-Activity holiday of the season is underway and began with a cracking hike yesterday. The group drove up to 2200 (metres), a little bit of a cheat, and then walked in to Spain via the Col de Boucharo and took the lost path along the vire (a path notched in to the side of a cliff) to the Pic du Escuzana at 2848m . One guest even managed a bit of scree-running as an aside.
The group has a fun-filled week ahead of them, which we’re sure they’ll rise to the challenge of.
Soon our autumn hiking season begins in earnest. We still have a few spaces left on various guided walking holidays and expect to get some last-minute bookings while this perfect hiking weather continues.
The weather is also producing some moody, atmospheric sunsets but the local rumour is that summer isn’t over yet. The belief is the Pyrenees may give us one final hurrah and put us all back in shorts and t-shirts before the season is over.
