A wee run around the gorge

Postby Blackal » Thu Jul 03, 2014 4:50 pm

Went along the north side of the Gorge de Verdon yesterday, and found a loop road that took us to the very edge of the gorge.

Spotted a pair of Griffon Vultures, riding the thermals about 1000 mtrs above the river below.

Not sure what wingspan they were - but they were mahoosive, and you just know - that they take big shits! :shock:

Al :D

Brilliant place, did that area about 3 years ago. That little road takes you right to the edge too... fab

We had a swim when we got to the lake. Loved it so much we went back round lol
