Retreat,Switzerland

Next day the cloud was below the hut, and a fierce wind was blowing over the frontier ridge.

Running out of money we had to retreat...

In the cloud on a bearing, across the glacier, hunting for the rocky outcrop, and eventually the mid station.

Soaking and fed up we caught the cable car down, and back to the camp site.

Effectively this was the end of our trip as the weather was going to defeat us.

We went back home the long way around ...  up the Rhone valley, over the Furka pass, to Andermatt (was not very impressed with this grey town), then the Sustenpass to Interlaken and home.

A "successful" trip in that we learned so much, and only had minor issues which we overcame.

This was the start of many alpine adventures to come.
