PATIENCE, videos cleansing Alps

Published by Arian Under The Alps 2007

Hello

I learned the true meaning of the word "patience" for three months, and it does not seem to stop ...:) But I'll use it later ... especially in the mountains!

Yesterday, following the advice of my doctor, I went to "walk" 1h in the hills. It was superb to be had outside ... but my ankle was still very painful ... so patience!

Today, I went back to see my doctor who told me to "try to walk" being very careful. The pain will be persistent, but I have to start slowly ... I'm already thinking about the frustration I feel in being confined for several months due to my ankle! There will be no operation for the moment. I see my doctor on September 5th to see how changing my ankle with a little walk in the mountains ... Stay tuned!
The month of September arrives soon, and I look forward to resuming my search for "sponsors". :)

In the meantime, here are 4 small videos of my cleaning in the Alps in 2007!

Anecdote - Journal TV France 2

Published by Arian Under The Alps 2007

Anecdote comparative and critical

In the morning leave for Nepal, I had a little accident "scooter" in front of a police station. It rained, it was cold, sprained ankle and thumb like a potato. :) The persons concerned and I decided to ask the police permission to make the statement inside. "The response was very brief, very dry and awful:" NO, stay out. Super French police!!
Three weeks ago, late at night, my car was forced and several things were stolen. The next morning, a police moves to take my deposition notes fingerprints on the glass (in France you'll never see it !!!), and said: "I sent it to the lab, the prints will be in the file ". This morning phone call: "Hello Arian (not Mr Lemal as in France, much more friendly here!), We found the person who robbed your car, we have an arrest warrant and a request for presentation to justice. I'll keep you informed. "IS WHAT IT IS NOT AS OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE?. Long live the New Zealand! Long live the mediocrity of the French police!

Here is the report that was done during my cleaning of the Alps in summer 2007.

Interventions in schools ... my reward!

Published by Arian Under The Alps 2007

Hello

This morning, I were speaking in the college Rene Guy Cadou St Brevin (Loire Atlantique) in front of students in the sixth. The message is, challenges, and motivates them to perform as a cleanup project at the end of the year. The message is well received! Students viewers become actors! I am very happy.

The questions are flying in all directions, it's great that conversation with them ... It is my reward for my days spent cleaning up the rubbish of others in the rain, snow, wind .. but also by beautiful sunny days!

My primary motivation in my projects is the environmental awareness, and when I spend a great time with students as this morning, my day will be exceptional!!

Okay, there are some sulking a little, or not really listening, but I am confident that the intervention will be successful ...

A student from last year came to see me and said he was continuing his efforts, and to encourage me! Is not that great that! And beh, if it is even TOO GOOD !!!!! Thank you to him!

Another thing, a lovely young lady came to bring me chocolates to thank me for my intervention. I was, and I am very touched by this gesture and kind. Thank you to her and her mother.

A small picture with the famous chocolates in my hand, and Twister, my dog, still in "my legs" to receive hugs!

I always hope to find a partner for my projects, and even more after an intervention such as this morning.

I also received a phone call from a television Nantes for a story, and the Association "Mountain Riders" who wants me to become the ambassador of cleaning mountain they hold! The day is really exceptional!

Very Very good day to you who follow me in my travels!

What is annoying is that even with the television coverage, I can not find sponsors! it's infuriating!

Ok, I do not despair, I try, I retry and I tried again ... But I came to New Zealand is looming large step, and I'm going backwards! "

At the bottom of the mountain for a long time ...

Published by Arian Under The Alps 2007

Here I am back down for good from Mont Blanc, it will take at least 2 years so I retry this project ... Meanwhile, I regained some of the equipment, I made myself some stolen too (always annoying) and I still have ice axes and crampons under a stone that friends will look for me later!

In the photo below, I was at 2100 meters near a building abandoned on the road train to the eyrie. That night, he was -11 degrees: a real pleasure with a bag of -4 °! ha ha ha. I suffered!

Mt Blanc remains and will remain a place of myth and grandiose obsessed me for a year! I pass the hand, and I will ...

In two short weeks, I encounter my last class ... then it will without me.

Here is a small picture of weather on Mt Blanc these days ... I am still responsible as a mule!

I still have lots of plans to offer, but I will need sponsors ... so for now, wait with me! I know it's annoying, but true ...

Very good day to you

A photo taken last night when he was a beautiful ... very rare in this period!
