Chamonix
July 13th, 2008 Posted in GeneralHello from France,
Survived the 900 mile journey down to Chamonix, managed to find a campsite ok only real problem has been the weather. Thunderstorms, heavy rain, cloud and general shit seems to be on the menu at the moment. Managed to get some walking in on the first day up to Mer de Glace was quite a nice walk up… we did get caught in a thunderstorm on the way down tho and got very wet! It seems my new waterproof coat is in fact waterproof though which was useful. Not so useful however was the half collapsed tent that we returned to, at the moment most of our possesions are slightly moist and slowly drying out. Was hoping to get some mountain biking in today but the weather was looking pretty grim again so we headed over into Geneva instead and had a wander around there… not much going on really, another country off the list of countries I’ve visited tho! Hopefully we will get to do some mountain biking in Chamonix, hopefully here at Zero G. Uploaded a few pictures onto Flickr, might get some more on later.
Au revoir for now
