25th August 2022 - Chamonix

Great couple of days. Yesterday took the cable car to top of Aguilar du midi. Spectacular mountain views of Mount Blanc. Freezing up there and air was thin. I struggled with dizziness a couple of times!  We then hiked to Mer de Glaze and got the mountain train back down.

Today we took the chair lift up from here and hiked up to the glacier off Mont Blanc. Had a fantastic lunch at a small mountain shed!  Going out for curry tonight.

Spent the weekend doing the Lakesman h Tri (5hr36) Weather was surprising good and we had a great weekend. Even managed to eat in the Dog and gun. Which was average. Travelled to Boot on Monday. Tuesday was a glorious day and we hiked Harter Fell coming back by Hardnott Pass and the Roman fort. Ate in the Woolpack last night. Tatty pot was excellent. This morning I ran Illgill Head / Whin Rigg. About 11 miles. Weather has been crap and we have sat around most of the day apart from a stroll through Howes wood.  Going to Boot Inn tonight.
