While in Annecy we tried to score some vendage work (grape picking), but had to settle for lining up some WWOOFing work instead. The WWOOF hosts were close(ish)-by in Briancon and were into things like home-grown veggies, home schooling their 3 kids and installing the most complicated solar water heater / inslab hydronic heating / rain water collection and filtration system ive ever seen.
The ride there was amazing over the cols de Telegraph and Galibier, and while working we had the chance to ride another incredible col, the d’Izoard. Workwise, we started in the veggie garden, pulling carrots, cabbages and turnips, then we got on to the big task that kept us going until the end – burying about 400m of water pipe. Ooh and playing with the 2 goats, cheeky and neigey.
