Skiing on March 28 was great - 5-10 cm fresh powder and lots of sun. Only 2 hours from home to be on the slopes. This after hiking up to the St Barnabe plateau (where the cache is) again but from the Cormes side this time - uphill from the Loup valley. It was cloudy again so we still didn't see the view. Had very short lunch out of the wind beside the very well constructed wall of a ruin.

Back hiking today with the women's group. Drove up with Anne and Nicki to the Col du Vence road and walked up to the top of the Baou des Noires et Baou des Blancs. Fresh wild asparagus, pink orchids, one browny-green orchid and other little flowers.

Pat has started playing more tennis now it's daylight saving and he feels unfit!
