Last northern spring my Bafta winning writer friend and former TV presenter Kieran Prendiville and I took on a perilous hike through northern Provence.
It was perilous because at every turn we were plied with ridiculous amounts of delicious food and gallons of wine to wash it down with.
The hiking was actually really hard for a couple of codgers like us, but the rewards were well worth the aching limbs and near heart attacks.
You can read the full story on the SMH Traveller online pages and you can read Kieran’s version of events here. Meanwhile here are some pictures to give you a taste of what it was like.
