2024 LCC Alpine Paddling Holiday

Day 12 Wednesday morning 31st July: Château-Queyras by Cameron Fletcher

This morning, 4 of us set out from the campsite early to run Château-Queyras, a run around 40 minutes away from the campsite. It was a narrow run, only 2m wide in places, which ran through the bottom of a gorge, with vertical cliffs on both sides.

It was described as being like ‘flushed down a toilet and spat out the other side.’ We started strong, all staying upright and together before one of us went over and lost a paddle, closely followed by a second. 1 swim later, we all got ‘spat out’ the other end and concluded that the description was fairly apt.
