The weather was still poor and did not look like getting better, and with the avalanche danger high, we decided to go to Switzerland and head to Saas Fee .... the objective would be to do a tour taking in the Allalinhorn, and the Strahlhorn.
Driving over the Forclaz pass to Martigny and then up the Rhone valley then up to Saas Grund. Once there we looked for a camp-site, but everywhere was full, or closed for the season. We ended up on a patch of grass that was probably the front lawn of a hotel. It was surprisingly expensive for such limited facilities, and we would only stay for one night, aiming to be in a mountain hut the next night.
Welcome to my world of days out. This diary of stories is recorded for my own record - recollections that I cannot guarantee are complete or even if things have been remembered incorrectly. I have added some graphs to the end at the page to show the increase in distances attained as I got fitter and more ambitious now regular weekly walking is more feasible.
