UKH

Seems like Gérome Pouvreau and Florence Pinet are crushing it around the UK at the moment with repeats of The Big Issue, Chupacabra, Point Blank, Muy Caliente, The Quarryman, Rhapsody and Reqiuem according to Planet Mountain. A ridiculous ticklist and word on the grapevine is that they are heading to the Peak.

I wonder if that accounts for the French plated van at Cratcliffe last night?

Hmm

Ground-up on 3PS you think?

Don't be ridiculous. It's a headpoint at best. 

That is a hell of a tick list! The peak is not going to be safe from these marauding frenchmen!  

saw a french couple at dumby the other week quietly working the routes without fanfare, was waiting for a ukc report to find out who they were!

I've been trying to contact them for the past few weeks. My guess is that they don't have data/decent wifi in their van! We could use their blogs for info of course but we also need photo permission. Plus, it's always nice to interview strong foreigners to find out what they thought of our climbs!

Sans fanfare?   Is this a new style of ascent?  I may have many ticks  

Would they be allowed to give an opinion on the grade post Brexit?

They'd have to do it in French, which should ensure no brexiters take an interest.

I think Florence may possibly object to being called a french man ...!

... although I doubt she'd object to being described as one of "les Français", which amounts to the same thing

true...

Ah the joys of language...

You have to admire the dedication of these guys.  I can see why you might want to travel from France to climb at Pembroke, but Dumbarton ?

What are you on about? Best outcrop in Britain.

Is The Groove still unrepeated? I don't think Team America managed it, despite a film implying that they did.

I think that's what he means!

my point is, when someone is trying rhapsody et al. there is usually a camera man or 3 about, plus groupies. not to mention they usually publicise their intentions to please the sponsors!

And John Dunne trying to look hard! 

Gérome Pouvreau was asked in Grimper what they where up to this summer and he said that they would go to Scotland and that he wanted to do Rhapsody ...

They ared heading for the breck next
