For one reason or another we haven't been for a "proper" walk for months. So it was good to get into the mountains today (albeit alarming to see just how low in energy some of us were). Still allergic to imminent winter, we chose the area near La Jarjatte, south of Grenoble, walking in reverse one of our early summer routes. It turned out to be a very well frequented track (October is a prime walking month before snow sends people into a variety of different sports).

But we were able to glimpse chamois on the huge scree slopes that are a feature of the area.
And the rocks, evidence of the huge forces that ripped and contorted them long ago, fascinating monuments.
