Si Conroy is well and truly out to prove me wrong!
I have just spoken with him and he passed the Grand Col Ferret at 1900hrs and stopped for a "coffee" at the "Refuge Elena".... He also put some warm clothing on!
So I sit now in Chamonix, La Boccalatte Italian having Pizza with the rest of the support crew, Si's brother Mark, niece Orla, and Alli providing invaluable support... There are plenty of left overs for Si later when I meet him at Courmayeur... But the thunder, lightening and rain we are experiencing is apparently the same with Si over on the Italian side of MONT BLANC!
So his planned route, up to the Refuge Bonatti and contour to Refuge Bertone has been adapted... He will drop lower, stay down in Val Ferret to the campsite where he will then take the new path up to Refuge Bertone at 1989m.... This way we hope the storm will at least pass and only the rain will remain!
I am married to a very determined man!
