My final week of work in Chamonix starts today after which I commence on my TMB Challenge... The long forecast does not look good at the moment so I will be rubbing my Inca sun gods nose to prompt better conditions.

Over £2000 raised - Day off in Villars... Planning!

So today was a planning day.... Jen is back to work tomorrow, and Si had a day off, so spent it in Villars with her planning! So far we have a small support team with 4 checkpoints along the 170kms route... however Jen will be covering 3 of these points and a friend (all being to plan), will arrive in Chamonix on Saturday 7th Sept at the latest. There they will pick up our car and drive to the remote Wild-Camp Les Chapieux, accessible by car between Col de La Siegne and Col de la Croix du Bonhomme to be there in time for Si passing through.... Si will be doing the 170kms, 9000m solo... and after a few offers by people to go with him on some stretches... he insists this should be solo!

Chamonix life

The rather wet noisy electric storms of yesterday evening passed leaving Sunday a rather atmospheric damp day in the valley this morning.... After a wet start up on the col de Montets a rather good day of walking with our latest clients in the valley!
As things hot up for the Northface UltraTrail to hit Chamonix this week, we look forward to seeing the event take place a week ahead of Si's similar challenge!!!
