Fantastic Pics Cliff - and you had much better weather in 2004 than we did this year!
Fantastic hotels abound - but for those who want it cheaper I can recommend a great chalet for £25 a night.

.....that is knowledge worth having for the budget traveller, Tony, and no mistake. Good to hear that there are more affordable options available.

I would think it would be wise to book soon, before everywhere is full up; half the Club will be there  anyway and at this rate most of the Forumists! ::)

Some might think your final photo there, of the Crocus with "top dressing", would be appropriately cross-posted in this thread: Crocus and horse dung ......

And just in case you think cheap means it will be miles from the town centre - our chalet was about 250m to the left of the sportpavilion in Cliffs 'easier route to the heights' picture!

Keep going Cliff,

Each time you post I show the photographs to Mary and she is becoming more and more taken by the idea. I think I may be winning here.
