It was my eldest son's 12th birthday today, so this weekend, we asked what he'd like to do, and the answer was Colmiane camping for the weekend. Colmiane is a great little resort with ski-lifts running in the summer for easy mountain biking, plus a summer luge which is superb fun.
Anyway, Jules took the boys up there Friday afternoon, whilst I took the motorbike up after work.
The summer luge
Anyway, this afternoon, boys and wife pile back in the car, whilst I head back on the bike. Instead of the direct route, I headed north to St Sauveur then west to Roubion, Beuil and Valberg.
Heading up to Roubion.
You can see the village up there on the horizon
Looking back down the road from Roubion.
You can see the little white car giving this some scale.
Looking up to Roubion
Boys thought this sign was funny, cos 'Couilles' in French is 'bollocks'
Heading over to Valberg after Beuil, beautiful day, should have taken some more piccies
Heading from Valberg to Guillaumes, turned the bike facing uphill to take this pic though..
The lovely, scenic, sweeping road to Guillaumes.
I have YET to take a photo of the gorgeous gorges du Dalius which does it any justice whatsoever.
Back down to Entrevaux, then just followed my nose to get home. Found some other little roads which made a pleasant (if long) end to the day
This was the Col du Buis, which is near the Clue de St-Auban, near(ish) Castellane

Like anything else though, I don't get out there as often as I should do....take it for granted.
