So.. Day 1 – travelling out to Chamonix.

So far, so good. 5am start; no problems with flight.

Aside from the fact that I hate flying, all is OK. Trying to relax. Bit early for a gin and tonic… or is it?

Bag finalised at 10kg exactly, which will get to 13kg with water each day. Not too bad. Plenty of space for Swiss cheese :And gin. Or a nice red. Hic. Mountains, what mountains?

Plan is to chill out in Chamonix for a day first and adjust to the mountains. Weather looks mixed – expecting some high snow and thunderstorms every afternoon.

Big thanks to all for support so far.

Distance so far: about 0.25km, 5 metres of climb…. (not a stellar day of trekking)
