Just putting this up to make it appear on the calendar...a feature I have actually not noticed before! The weather forecast is looking good but I am wondering if we will be walking our way up the hill with either the equivalent of the broom wagon from the Tour de France or a van containing "Route Napolean Closed" signs driving up just behind us!
