The thing I use most in the guide is the contours, the maps are a bit dodgy with the P 800m etc, but the contour shading is pretty spot on and is really helpful...

An arrow with "P 800m" at the edge of the page isn't always enough.  ::)

Yeah, I love the way the directions often consist of an arrow and a distance.  Could possibly have a bit more information.

The French equivalent to the OS Map (you can get it from the Decathlon at the Carrefour) is definitely work the couple of Euros.

I bought one of them for running in the forest when its too wet to climb (as well as to pander to my map fetish/obsession.

I'd just like to thank everyone for helping me to make my mind up.

We headed out, and had a week where the weather changed from t-shirt/topless climbing at the start, and down jackets by the end! It would seem that Autumn is here. It rained one night, and the following morning, but was dry by the evening!

Chuffed to bits.

Cheers everyone.

Font in October? Absolute genius...

Just had five days of nearly perfect conditions, no rest days, no skin left. Now that's what I call a holiday...

In an epic 3 year bump - just checking the consensus for Font in October is still "generally awesome"?

Obviously no promises, but should be ok for a few days?

Does the above constitute a legally binding contract?

I'm there for a week at the start of Oct so this better be true (especially the gravity part)
