a few of the Oranges at 95.2 were in good nick - probably more will be tomorrow

white 28 sit start was a pleasant discovery

might be worth waiting until the afternoon for stuff to dry out properly - then Elephant might be a goer (nice place to be of an evening, even if friction isn't great)

A very very light, almost imperceptible, drizzle in Font town at the moment.

Likewise Richer Fin, even the sheltered bits in the woods.

for the benefit of those not in Font - it has pissed it down all day (and most of yesterday, but I was in Paris and hadn't planned to climb)

for the benefit of those who are in Font - it is due to stop raining after 9 or 10pm tonight, reasonable northerly breeze all night and no precipitation due all day tomorrow - looking like only 4 deg C in the morning...

glad I'm not camping

Secteur Au Four Au Moulin a Milly is also a good bet. Religeuse is a great problem, Pain au Chocolat Aux Amandes is a good bet too.

Pain au Chocolat Aux Amandes is a good bet too.

Sounds great. Any other good patisserie recommendations?

Everything at that crag is worthwhile.

went to Elephant this afternoon with the kids

mostly dry, due to sun and light breeze - deep pockets/breaks and sheltered stuff still damp - puddles in big pockets on top

most things a bit sandy, obviously, after 2 days of rain - the kids were fascinated by the light glitter layer on the rock

looking at the forecast, first thing tomorrow could be good if condensation doesn't mess it up - and even then, you'd just have to wait for stuff to dry off

Cuvier was dry this am, amazingly so given yesterday's rain. V little humidity I reckon, so I doubt condensation will be a problem tomorrow. Cassepot was also bone dry this afternoon and that's fairly well shaded.

Thanks all. I'll have a look at Drei Zinnen this morning. Strange how quickly the forest is drying out, mind you the last couple of years have been very dry.
