Today, on a notion, we decided to take a little stroll to see Le Trou des Corbeaux ( The Hole of the Crows) over Cessanon. Thirty minutes the walk guide said and “facile” in other words an easy stroll.
Well after 30 minutes (which included a few stops) the uphill gradient turned to vertical so we had to scramble on all fours to get to the cave.
Now we have to admit it was impressive, but, what we hadn’t taken into consideration was that “what goes up, must come down” and going down was hell. We kinda ladelled each other down the steep scree, I would go ahead, root myself and then hand Madame down to a point ahead of me.This worked quite well but “facile” and “thirty minutes” .Forget it.
Was it worth it ? Absolutely. Would we do it again ? Never.
