me and sophie h want to go to the south of france in august for a week or so. i can drive and there's a couple of spaces in the car if anyones up for a trip. some sport climbing, some sea and sand..
let me know if you want to come and what dates are good for you.

.. I might be up for it, but what part of south france?
(I recommend Mt. Saint Victoire + Calanques of Marseille), have a guide book of the first one and I know the area a bit


... do you want to go in the beginning or late August?

couple places worth seeing (and climbing) down there:

Canyon du verdon climbing, info

Montagne_Sainte-Victoire small sample of routes, general info

Calanques near Marseille very small sample of routes, general info

That does sound very interesting indeed. if u have a lot of interest I may be interested and i also have a car so would be able to accomodate also..... just a thought maybe...

im definately up for it.

oh yeah, it certainly will! I have been there three times already in past year but I have been climbing only once, so I would like to make up for it!

Would be up for in the first week of August!

.. I am really psyched, the routes over there look amazing!

.. and we should not forget other things - if we get tired of climbing there is just soooo much to do! I really loved Pont du Gard or one can just rent out a kayak and find themselves their very own little beach.

Just a word of advice, the parts of the Calanques are closed during August because the heat can cause fires in the area. Looked into it when we were in the area last year and most of the climbing was off limits at the time.

hey so this sounds pretty cool if we could maybe get some people together and stuff. what kinda times over the summer are people free for something like this? sorry if it seems like im hijacking you guys brilliant idea but that is definately not the case
