Big White Mountain Tour
This is the short version – we left Edinburgh on 1st September 2009 for Les Houches, spent 12 days walking round Mont Blanc including a static day in Courmayeur, and came back on 15th September. We had all kinds of weather on the way, walked for long, hard days and shorter, more relaxing ones, slept in basic dorms and hotel beds, saw stunning views and met dozens of fascinating people.

Bill and I have come back from the Tour du Mont Blanc with two rucksacks full of dirty washing, empty camera batteries from over 800 photographs, about 100 pages of spidery hand-written journal, and a stack of memories. I think it’s going to need more than one blog post to share it all.

The medium-sized version is spread over a fortnight’s worth of posts in this blog; the long version would take almost as long to tell as it took to walk.
