On the road at last!

On the road at last!

Couldn't wait for the south so a quick detour and a first time visit to the forest of Fountainebleau staying in the pretty village of Barbizon.

A lovely few days getting totally schooled on those slopers and sketchy top-outs!!



Barbizon was a perfect spot for #vanlife, pretty, good facilities, nice boulangerie, free wifi, close to the forrest.
 


Since it was a first time visit and we're total punters when it comes to bouldering(!) we kept it simple and enjoyed the 95.2 and 91.1 sectors in Trois Pigeons, both had good easy circuits (orange and blue) were easy to navigate, and pretty settings. The few we tried closed to town of Fontainebleau were less good, harder to navigate and car parks noted for breakins. 95.2 had woodland car park and was my favourite (nord and sud).

  


Found an Aire for Water or Camping Grez sur Loing which has pretty village with boulagerie and shop.



Still totally in city lifestyle mode, but great to get on the road, we both enjoyed Font and will be back. Paula's dodgy achilles seemed ok which was great to see.
