Hi Glenn, Hope you are having a good time out in the vercors. Just wondering how warm it is over there and what is the smallest sleeping bag I can get away with? Also do you need wetsuits? We are struggling with weight limits at the moment so I am trying to cut back on stuff. Cheers

Hi Tam, the weather is currently mixed. The end of last week was quite wet with a few storms, but it's warmed up since the weekend, but not "cracking slabs" hot yet! I guess you are camping, it's not that cold at night, at valley level it's not reaching freezing although it is above 1500m.
Not sure about wetsuits - what were you thinking of using them for? I would not use a wet suit for the Gournier for example, you'll be too hot in the fossil section, and you can avoid a lot of the water in the river section if you are careful.

Had three trips so far into my current project and a rest day today. Hope to bottom it tomorrow!
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Glenn
