Siurana

So it's a sad farewell to Spain as this part of the adventure is over as we drive into the South of France. I'm sure we will be back again in the late Autumn months and will definitely head back to Siurana and El Chorro.
We didn't know what to expect from our winter climbing in Spain but it safe to say it has exceeded both our expectations.
Apparently Spain had a particularly rainy season and we still managed many days of great climbing and a few sunny rest days.
We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Moritz is happy to be out rock climbing

 Now back in France it's time to try out the Languedoc - Roussillon region that we have yet to explore.
We start in Orgon and find a spot by the lake to camp, with the campsite yet to open for he season it shouldn't be a problem.

It's a small lake with the rock surrounding it making it easy to find where the climbing is. Our first day and it's back to slabs for some warm ups... we discover that some of the bolts are more spaced apart than in Spain.
A few days of climbing and the rain sets in for a couple of days... time to head to the patisserie for some rainy day cake ( France has its perks!)
There's a couple more days of climbing before we we decide to check out Seynes.

Seynes is a rural village that has limestone cliffs in the background some of which are streaked with a rouge colour.
Our first day climbing while walking to the crag we are befriended by a golden Labrador. He walks up to the crag with and spend the entire day with us walking back to the village in the early evening. Such a warm welcome I'm a little disappointed that he isn't there the next day.
