Snowshoes outing

Massif de Belledonne

24th & 25th February

 


Saturday morning, 24th Feb. 2001, the weather is just horrible but we are 23 people more than motivated to go for a week-end full of sensations (and we'll even have more than expected !) for a 2 days trip by snowshoes in Belledonne ...

First meeting at 12.30 at CERN ...

... 2nd meeting at 1 pm at Macumba ...

... 3rd meeting at 2 pm in Montmelian ...


Arturo is starting to be fed up waiting ... :-) He's maybe fed up but if somebody thinks that Arturo is drunk, he's wrong !!! :)


Aren't they lovely ???


Finally we manage to get the last road (the one which was supposed to bring us until the parking ...) and real problems are starting here ...


5 pm ! We've parked our cars all the way long, put our bags everywhere, the dark is coming, fog is still there but we won't get unmotivated so easily !!!

!!! What a nice tongue Mel !!! :-P
5.30 pm, that's UNBELIEVABLE !!!
Everybody's ready and we're finally leaving !!! :-)

It will take us about one hour and a half to reach the parking and then there's no more pictures because nobody (even not the camera) was able to see anything ...
9.00 pm : after 2 hours walking with quite bad conditions, we are still a couple of survivors (we've lost only 5 persons which is not so bad ...:-)) ) and we find a cabane EDF on the way which sounds so nice and comfortable that we take the decision to stop there !!! :-))


Cookers making the diner in their lovely kitchen ! :-)

The atmosphere is getting much better with the special drinks that everybody brought ...


Are you cold Tim ???
:-)
The bedroom's configuration is not easy to implement ...
Finally, after 2 hours fighting in order to get a place on the floor, everybody (but Pierre-Yves Le Breton) is ready to have a nice sleep !

Sunday morning, the weather is just beautiful but, I don't know why, there's not so many motivated people ... so we decide to go back directly at the cars !

Hervé managing the beepers installation !


Tim's trying to find the faster way to go down ...


The family picture !!!
Everybody's still there ;-)

Hey Miguelito !!! WAKE UP, we're going to eat again !!!


Lunch session in the garage ...
And a couple of bottle of wine later ...
Andrea thinks he's a Pro Truck driver !

Hope everybody has enjoyed this week-end and for those who need more sensations,
we'll soon arrange an another week-end with better conditions ... :-)
