We're staying in walking distance of the crag, so RdM is a little further than one hour. Looks a decent option tho'.jwi said:Depending on where you are staying, Rue de masque is also within one hour driving. Less than 60 km from Gap.James Malloch said:I think we’re staying here (at the campsite) for another week at least. Maybe see you at the crag?
Not sure if it’s possible, but all the locals are on e-bikes. Looks like the pros often get them when here too - maybe you could hire one somewhere and cut out a lot of the walk? Not sure how intense any pedalling is, but sounds like it cuts out a lot of walking effort!
Happy to help with ropes etc too if you want a packhorse for a day to stash things up there.

We're arriving on the 29th. Noted the idea of the e-bikes, I wonder where you rent them? I guess the pros have them in their campervans. Ironically the walk-in was my relative strength on previous visits but that was then...
If I take the walk slowly, allow a stop or two, take an afternoon nap, and make plenty of cups of tea I should be OK. I'll take a drybag and might stash some gear up there.

No acute incident or pop. Just felt sore at the end of the session.

Was that a BMC staff member you spoke to or someone from the claim handling company? Best person to speak to about policies is Jim and if you need to escalate then Arun heads up the Insurance team. Their emails are here: www.thebmc.co.uk/bmc-staff-list
