ClubMed on the Med

          ClubMed on the actual Med


My first visit to a ClubMed resort was at the end of winter in 2019, to one in the French Alps. I wrote about it (April 2019), speculating tongue in cheek about certain possibilities of a Ballardian nature (after the novelist of dystopian middle class violence, JG Ballard).


Having returned from my second ClubMed, in Greece, on the seaside, a resort of beaches and pine groves, I realise that the slightly cultish claustrophobia of the winter ClubMed was mainly due to, well, the winter.
