28 July 1982

Grindelwald, Switzerland

The next day, as chance would have it was a reasonable day .. but Ken and Graham needed recovery time, so it was decided to head around to Grindlewald and write-off our preparation days. At least we had some days at altitude.

The drive around was uneventful .. we stopped off at Lauterbrunnen to see the water falls but did not really spend much time there as it was full of coach parties.

In Grindlewald we followed the sings to the first campsite we saw which was down by the stream , but much more is hazy in the memory. Pitchign the tents we then took a walk around the town...  expecting something ;like Chamonix, but not really expecting twee, and touristy not rally very mountain man. however over the coming days we would know it better.

Wetterhorn with the weather!
