cheers allye i looked at targasonne and sounds really good. supposed to be at 1500m so ok in summer.however bit too far for us this year as first year with the dog and other half’s shoulder will be in asling so i ll be doing all the driving, thats why switch to bouldering as she cannot belay.having looked at other options, seems to also be some good bouldering in chamonix, eg medonnet.however , think we are going to go with week in font and then week at the beach in normandie.
Are you driving down? Long haul from Ecosse! We've thought about Eurocamp in Brittany or Normandy, take van so we could fit all boards, bikes, etc etc in, but would probably stop with friends n Yorkshire on the way.
Further east in Brittany there are lovely weather worn granite boulders at Ploumanach, I climbed on them as a kid while camping at Le Ranolien 30 years ago, there are boulders scattered around the campsite.

Plan is overnight ferry into holland, couple days there for touristy stuff then drive to font for 1 week and then normandie second week then home. did the full drive several times as a kid and it is pretty long. hoping to have a van by the time of trip as our last couple of trips up north with climbing kit/ wetsuits/ dog stuff etc have been seriously crammed!
i reckon Sintra will be roasting hot. I like the look of Santa Linya in northern Spain, but that could well be just the pitches online that make it look good. Any Scandi options?
