You
may not find this tangibly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a
good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught
up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.
Here's
an ancient, long-disused farm road that forms a sort of ramp up through the 1200-1300m
cliffs that run along this length of the Jura mountains. It leads up from Les
Frasses farm, but it's hard to see what its original purpose was, as it really
goes nowhere useful farmwise, but it's great for hikers.

At
the top of the 1300m cliffs, it's time for lunch.
Three
loaves of bread, two and a half kilos of cheese (some of it cheddar from Scotland),
and a little chocolate.
Now
it's up through the next little range of cliffs towards Les Echadex

Having
passed Les Echadex, we're descending now by way of the Tearoom de la Plage ('the
tearoom on the beach')
The
Tearoom is a lovely three-sided public picnic look-out with an unbeatable view
out over Lake Geneva and the French Alps

The
snowless village of Longirod below us, and the lake

We
took nearly 80 of these self-timers, and this was the runner-up.
And
this was the winner.
