Another sizzling hot sun day on the TMB. Today's section from Bonatti Refugio to La Fouly takes us over the highest col on the trek, the Grand Col Ferret. The team were on good form and a cracking pace again, despite the heat. We had an early start to avoid the worse of the heat. Nice temperatures in the shame. Elevenses on the col and lunch on the Swiss meadows. There is still a fair amount of soft snow on the Swiss side of the col but not as much as a week or so ago.
