Arian Lemal, The Sweeper of the Peaks

Hello,

I learn the true meaning of the word "patience" for 3 months, and it does not seem to stop ... :) However, I can use it later ... especially in the mountains!

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

Today, I returned to my doctor who told me to "walk again" with great care. The pain will be persistent, but I have to start slowly ... I'm already thinking about the frustration I feel in being limited for several months because of my ankle! There will be no operation for now. I see my doctor on September 5 to see how changing my ankle with some mountain walking ... Stay tuned!
The month of September comes quickly, and I'm anxious to resume my search for "sponsors".

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

Very good week you

Comparative and critical anecdote:

In the morning leaving 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 for permission to make the judgment on the inside. "The response was very brief, very dry and execrable:" 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 policeman moves to take my deposition, is footprints on the glass (in France, you will 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 cleansing of the Alps in summer 2007.

Hello,

This morning, I acted in college René Guy Cadou St Brevin (Loire Atlantique) to students in the sixth. The message is, challenges, and motivates them to achieve also a cleanup project at the end of the year. The message is well received! Students spectators become actors! I'm very happy.

The questions are flying in all directions, it's great that exchange with them ... this is my reward for my days spent cleaning up waste from other 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 like this morning, my day can be exceptional!!

Okay, there are some who sulk a little, or do not really listen, but I am convinced that the intervention will pay off ...

A student last year came to see me to tell me he continued his efforts, and to encourage me! It is not great! And beh, if it is even TOO WELL!! Thank you to him!

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

A small picture with these famous chocolates in my hand, and Twister, my dog, still in "my legs" to be touched!

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

I also received a call from a television Nantes for a story, and the association "Mountain Riders" who wants me to become the ambassador of the mountain they organize cleanups! The day is truly exceptional!

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

I just found this video, you've already seen??

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

Ok, I do not despair, I try, I will retry, and I try again ... But I left for New Zealand is close to big step, and I go backwards!!

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

In the photo below, I was at 2100 meters next to a building abandoned on the road from the train to the eagle's nest. That night, he made -11 °: a real pleasure with a bag of -4 °! ha ha ha. I suffered!

The Mont Blanc is and will remain a mythical place and grand to me obsessed for a year! I pass the hand, and I will return ...

In two short weeks, I met my last class ... Then we have to do without me.

Here is a small photo of the good 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 this is frustrating, but there it is ...

Good day to you

A last picture taken on a night when the weather was good ... very rare in this period!
