Spring Alpine Tour, France

After missing out last year, the planning for this time was a little more intensive. We had also had a message from Dave that he would be visiting Europe for work , and it would be great to combine these events, and have a reunion.

So the plan was that we would start off in Chamonix, and aim to get fit then do a few days of the Chamonix to Zermatt tour, should the weather and fitness allow.

Setting off there was Bryon Chris and I, together with Dave, and for the first time John.

We did the usual driving shifts and reached Chamonix at mid day, and after collecting the requisite insurance and additional gear we headed out to Les Praz. In prior years we had used the Camping "les Drus", and we set up camp here and prepared for tomorrow.
