Paging Ace - you are now permitted to smile
The snow in the Pyrenees is crap, for the second year running, while
it's great in the Alps. Casting around without much hope for a cheap catered chalet last-minute bargain in the Alps at half-term (next weekend), I found (to my surprise) that there are more than a few, discounted to half price. Like £300 a head, and yes, room for four or more, in Val d'Isere. Oufit called Finlays, if anybody knows anything about them A quick bit of thinking. There's a mere 40cm of snow at altitude in the Pyrenees, and the forecast for the whole of next week is for temperatures of up to 10. One downward spike mid-week, and one cm of snow on that date. We've got flights booked, and a hire car waiting for us at Toulouse Airport. So we've cancelled the hotel in St Lary and we're heading north-east instead of south-west. Anybody know how long it takes to drive Toulouse-Val? Only slight problem: all our kit is in a boot room in a hotel in St Lary, but that's what credit cards are for, and my boots are over 20 years old anyway. |
