We had a free week after Christmas and, because neither of us is keen on celebrating New Year... kissing random people in packed sweaty pubs... we decided to go away in Bertie, our camper van. As I said, we're not keen on New Year; therefore, I'm not sure why we chose to go to Edinburgh,... Continue Reading →
After a few days staying by Hadrian's Wall we moved to the Northumbrian Coast near Craster, with a list of places we wanted to see, and walks we wanted to do. We rose early on our first morning at Dunstan Hill campsite because we planned to visit Holy Island and, in particular Lindisfarne Castle. The... Continue Reading →
I'd forgotten about my blog. I suppose that, by the end of the summer, I'm pleased when I don't have to update it every day.... One of the plus sides of coming home and getting back to normal! A few recent likes, completely out of the blue, reminded me about it, and I clicked to... Continue Reading →
We couldn't decide where to stay tonight. We usually stay in an aire at Wissant but the last couple of times, its been really busy and weve only just squeezed in. The forecast was good though and we fancied a couple of hours on the beach so, after a few suggestions from people in a... Continue Reading →
We had breakfast and waved the others off on the train to Geneva, before getting into Bertie and driving for about 6 hours to a nice campervan aire we've stayed at before. The roads were busy but traffic moved well and, with a stop for the supermarket and petrol and another for lunch, we were... Continue Reading →
It was the last day of our Tour du Mont Blanc trek today. Unfortunately, Mark wasn't able to do it because the general hospital advised him to visit the specialist centre to have his hand checked. However, he was feeling and looking much better, so Anne was persuaded to finish the hike. She, Rob and... Continue Reading →
Today is Anne's birthday. It's been an eventful one! We woke to a brighter day, with no rain, although the wind was rather cold this morning. After breakfast we headed up through the forest to the high point of today, the Aiguillettes des Posettes (2201 metres). The landscape was stunning with bilberry and heather bushes...

Today we awoke to cloud and rain. We had breakfast, then caught the bus back to Chamonix and took the cable car back up to Plan Praz to continue the walk. The weather was awful and we just walked with our heads down... pretty miserable! Luckily we haven't had to climb too high today and... Continue Reading →
After a stormy night of thunder and lightning we set off on our long and soul destroying 3.5 hour, 1500 metre ascent up to the Brevent cable car station. It was chucking it down with rain when we left and the cloud was low so there were no good views. It was also pretty humid... Continue Reading →
John and I did did the high level variant of the hike today, whereas the others did the low level one. We set ofF early after a good breakfast and, once we hit the town, headed straight uphill. We were surprised how steep the climb was from the start! After passing the first refuge at... Continue Reading →
