46 years ago, give or take a few weeks, a gang of erstwhile austineers gathered at the summit of Mont Aigoual in southern France. For a number of years I have promised Ian Dunford that I would take the RP up there and photograph it in the same spot. I shall be setting off after breakfast (french time) tomorrow and if any of you want to follow my progress in real time Ruairidh has created a Whatsapp group for the run.
It's not a very long run as I'm restricted to 100km radius from home, but it's about 200km there and back on some of the most scenic roads in the Cevennes national park. One of the roads to the summit is marked " difficult and dangerous" which sounds just up my street - like the roads in the coast to coast " not suitable for motor vehicles (except austin sevens).
