Pyrenees between Spain and
Photos Grollemund Val and Pierre Mahé
We're off to the Flip Flap in Saint-Pe-de-Bigorre, near Lourdes (in fact I have a brand new boat for sale ;-)) for the 3rd round of Free Kayaking Tour (Freestyle Kayaking Competition).
A weekend of sun and water droplets but good wave there was the ambiance, everything you need for a great contest. A big thank you to the organization who had to stop momentarily comp about 18 hours so we can watch live TV show DNA (accelerator neuron) on France 2 or friend was the star jacket (with Val, Leaf, the grand master and me).
here's the video.
Then our plan was to go to Spain to find rivers that look with Maquina death Deguil Eric and the big mund Val ;-).
But before passing on the other hand, we took advantage of good water levels to make the river of Carol who is very rarely in water and what a pity! Then direction
Spain on the Rio Ribagorçana, the section was not very long (300m) but for me I left and drilled a paddle the boat (my shoulder still feels) a threshold not very high but crap! so I stopped and made the safety Eric was on the end of the trail. And then a second broken paddle on a beautiful fall enough technique 15m flowing into a lake. In short, it is expensive meter river!
We continue along side the English Pyrenees, passing through the town of Huesca to taste the tapas. Then towards the Rio Gallego to have fun on a small river volume and contemplated the vultures on the magnificent cliffs of Los Mallos Riglos before returning to France to the Pyrenees Buddies Race ...
Climate change was rather radical, + 17 ° C 0 ° C Spain near the French side Laruns.
A beautiful well-organized competition that almost did not happen because of snow (nearly 15 cm fell in the month of May unheard of!). Finally, everything went on as if nothing had happened with the sun to finish off this weekend fresh fresh!
