Back home at 0230.
RTH guiding with K and PH ..Burn O'Vat loop then round Loch Kinord...a few folk from Dundee Hawkhill. Decent enough pace but glad it wasn't too hard after the last week. Legs still got some Alps in them. Good chat in the rain and didn't feel too bad. Lots of frogs out.

Sion's equivalent of Boris bikes.
Centre of Sion out and back towards Sierre beside River Rhone. Lovely weather for it and good for the legs after yesterday.
Nice stop off for a swim in one of the lakes on the way back.

Mega climb from Pralong. We both kept it going pretty well all the way up. 1.30 to the col, then 40 up to the summit. Great views lower down but cloud on the top. Huge bird flying about but too far away for ID.
Hanging onto Ks ankles on the way down. Back to the col in 20 then another 48 all the way down. Lovely running on the soft trails in the wood on the lowest slopes.
Target was 3.30, with 3.15 as stretch so well pleased how it went.

All of us in the Alps Day 5
Europahutte from Randa with T.
Left the others to sample the tourists in Zermatt and headed up a far less frequented path from Randa. Steep and very warm but great views of the glacier opposite and of what will be, at least for a while, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world, when it's finished.
Great cake at the hut and two friendly ibexes too.
Out for 3.45.
Beer at the bottom was good too. Then we spent 20 mins trying to exit the underground car park.

Nice loop.

All of us n the Alps Day 2.
With D.
Les Collons..dropped down via single track, a bit of road then ground out all the uphill single track through the woods to near Thyon. Then back down "home".
Felt better on the ups than I expected.
