EARLY START TO BEAT THE HEAT

Final day of this TMB and we had an early start to beat heat. The easiest day of the trek leaves Trient and heads over the Col de Balme back into the Chamonix Valley and France. Finished by mid day and not too hot. That is until you are back in Chamonix town and nudging 30 degree centigrade again. Well done to my group of 12 folk this last week or so. Coped admirably in the sizzling heat. More of the same temps next week and sunshine once more.
