The night before...

Okay, so the car is packed, tent and camp stuff all in. Clothes are packed, climbing gear is all in, the cars even full of fuel and so are the jerry cans! Jheesh, this is perhaps the most prepared I've ever been the night before a trip...! Still have that 'I'm sure ive forgotten something' feeling though, but doesn't everyone the night before they leave on an overland adventure?

Maybe this would be a good time to give more details about said overland trip, it's nothing too dramatic or even particularly exciting, but tomorrow midday, I will be on a ferry from Dover to Calais. From Calais I will make my way to La Citadelle Montmedy, there I will set up camp and stay the night. Then I carry on heading south, down to Haut des Bluches, la bresse. Next is the part I'm perhaps most excited about, im planning on spending the following 2 days in Chamonix. After this I'll travel 240km to my final campsite in Pierre d'argencon. Jheez, these French places don't get any easier too say! The day after that, which will hopefully be a Monday, I'll arrive in L'ardeche and meet up with family where I'll spend the next two weeks doing all kinda crazy stuffs in the (hopefully) sunshine!

Now I'm going too get some rest, as I've spent all day doing all the organising I should of been doing for the last two weeks! I'll update tomorrow, hopefully with something more exciting than tonight's post!

For now, here's a photo of camp on my last trip, Snowdonia, Wales. I'm not a total rookie! Honest!
