2024 LCC Alpine Paddling Holiday
Day 03 Monday: The Veneon Valley access road was closed by Kirk Williams
Our moving day got off to a bright start thanks to my red wine overindulgence the previous evening. After some slightly disorganised packing, we set off on the journey from l’Isle de la Serre (near Lyon) to L’Argentière-la-Bessée.
Our plans for a cheeky paddle on the Veneon were scuppered by road closures following the earlier flooding in the area. We had to console ourselves with some restorative McDonalds on the way.
Arrived safely at our old familiar campsite in L’Argentière-la-Bessée and pitched up in plenty of time to fit in another burger and a few local beers at the on-site bar. Hopefully, my self-discipline holds out for an earlier night!
