Why?

I have often been asked by friends in the outer world what I would hope to gain from such activities, and the only answer I could give was to shrug my shoulders and say:

"What is the good of trying to justify the useless? The fact that I enjoy the useless effort I have to make, the comradeship that binds me to my friends in the accomplishment of what has no utility."

Couldn't have said it any better Louis :)

Une minute plus vite qu'hier!

Today is our last day together and the first where the weather has stopped us getting out and about in the mountains :(

We still managed to go swimming though and after more tuition from Alistair, I can now swim approx 1500m in 36 min and 35 sec :)

Paul and Gill drove over from Grenoble to join us for our last meal. For tomorrow we all head in different directions having had a proper summer adventure!
