Chamonix

This trip was absolutely fulfilling. I’ve never done a hike like this before and it has encouraged me to truly push myself and it was worth it. The trails, majestic views of the alps, and glaciers were breathtaking. Marta and Neil were also amazing hosts and looked after us! Their 3-course meals tasted so so delicious- we all looked forward to our evening meals! There were also yummy cakes waiting for us after our hikes every day. I stayed at Chalet Chocolat which had an alpine feel to it and felt very cosy. We made use of the hot tub in the garden after the hikes and we were rewarded with a view of the snow-capped alps.

Before I left my girlfriend was teasing me about spending two weeks camping with creepy crawlies and having to eat tinned spaghetti hoops every night. In truth it could not have been more different. Kieron the camp leader was great, tents were put up for us, beers were cold, the food was healthy, tasty and home cooked and exceeded all expectations. The tents were modern and roomy, I paid extra for a single but they are more than big enough for two. Campsites were good and the mat, pillow and sleeping bag I rented were all just fine. We were really well looked after. The trek was superb too – I’m a really pleased I chose to do the full thing.

Had a wonderful week hiking the TMB, Egle our guide was fantastic (Lot’s of patience) had the most fantastic group of people to hike with. The TMB itself was just outstanding, the ascents were pretty tough going, you are rewarded with the most stunning views.
