Our home at Sport Nature, Hautes Pyrenees. There is kayaking memorabilia all around us here and on the wall are old photos of French teams from many World Cups and World Champs, with autographs from some famous French paddlers. They had a world cup here in 2002. It is a great place for training as several courses are within 40 mins. Tmoro we go back into the natural course at Pau and also going to Orthez for a session.
Above are photos of the lunch when we eat here... today was another great meal . Think it will be hard for the boys to get used to a ham roll when we are self catering again. The awning intrigues ue all as it is extended for sun and rain. In this photo it is only half out, but last night there was some drizzle and we sat outside as warm and humid but staying dry.
There are many buildings, lots of trees and the river just beside us. There are other groups here caving, rafting, kayaking (sit ons) as it seems it is an adventure playground for young and old. We have seen signs that say ' St Pe de Bigorre Fete Juillet 3/4/5' so maybe we will experience a small French town fete on Friday night before we leave.
Some kids having a siesta, Callum doing homework and a couple are watching a movie before our afternoon session at 3.30pm. Still 30-35 and very warm and sunny.
