The Alps

Basically, the trip was amazing! did loads of stuff, met loads of folk and saw loads of total awesomeness! Andy should have hundreds of sweet photos and i shall describe the fun with my usual spouts of drivel, which your best advised to ignore and let the piccys do the talking!

to break it up, we're gonna do wee trip reports for each of our varyingly sucessful forays into the mountains so keep checking for the next update! but heres basically what we did; Conville course where we learnt that carrying a spare pair of boots in an alpine sack was slightly unneccesary and that some folk just wont shut up about 'The Blanc', a mystery tour of the bivy boulders above the Mer de Glace where yet another of my experiments went wrong, some oneday trips from the valley that ranged from the easy to the epic, and finally an awesome weekend bivying on the Col du Midi with a heroically early start for Mont Blanc du Tucal via the Chere Couloir.......
