It was probably a little aggressive to go to the Creux du Van for our first "real" hike, but we had been all talk about hiking and Dorothy and Bob persuaded us, so we took the opportunity.

The entire 14km took us just under 6 hours, and I could barely move the next day. But it hooked me on hiking. I was slightly sad we waited so long to get started, but this year we'll make up for it.
The hike started from the Noiraigue train station, there we took a group photo to prove that we did like each other before the hike started.

Its hard to see a full view of the Creux du Van from the bottom, but essentially we walked up the mountain from the far right of the picture above then across the top to the left and down again, circling back to where we started.

So, I just read all about the Toblerone line and that's VERY cool!
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful shots! Looks like a wonderful hike. I hope this year to get Naomi really into hiking because I really miss it (and am SO out of shape... In college I was a hiking fool) and I wanna get Naomi hooked too.
Yay' goat!! And I love that a hiking trail takes you through farms. So fun!
