In mid-August the
Challenge Activ team and 8 guests walked from l'Encrenaz,
over the Col de Ratty and down to the refuge at Graydon,
where we had booked to eat that evening. The walk, though
not that long, was excellent and it is even believed
that at some point during the afternoon a Marmotte was
spotted…although this rumour has yet to be officially
confirmed. No CA expedition would be complete without
a bottle of champagne being cracked open at the summit
and this, of course, was no exception!
The evening in Graydon was incredibly memorable, with
huge steaming trays of tartiflette, fast flowing wine,
good music from a local band and impressive dance moves
(we mean you Steve!!!) Apart from us girlies having to
put our avoidance tactics to good use as the local lothario
prowled round looking for his next victim, it was a superb
night and a good time was had by all. |
