TOUR DU MONT BLANC
My first group trekking trip and it won’t be my last; infact I am already planning more adventures with Exodus! I chose this particular trip as a taster or starter to see how I coped with challenging walking. The whole trip worked out really well from flights to the walk and accomodation.
Most Inspirational Moment
Meeting the 12 others in my group who were all fantastic people! Everyone had a good chat during the trip and we all got on well with each other (I hope we can all stay in contact!). The scenery around Mont Blanc was breath taking of course and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere back at base in Chamonix.
Thoughts on Group Leader
A real inspiration to me to see how he organised the group and kept in control. The bag packing briefing was really well done and I learnt a lot about what I didn't need on the trip. Graham was a very responsible leader heading off quickly at one stage whilst the group took lunch to make sure that a refuge was open then came back again to give us the all clear!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take note of how little you need on the walk! Less is more but don't forget the important clothes such as waterproof trousers!

Ian was brilliant - he had great knowledge of the Mont Blanc region and was able to point out all the various flora and fauna en route.

Despite incorrect information regarding car parking in Chamonix, the trip itself was a great experience, thanks to the group leader. Mine wasn’t the only experience in the group of admin problems and incorrect information, I’ll let the others comment on that.
Most Inspirational Moment
The final day up to Lake Blanc was amazing and a wonderful experience. The views were stunning and the weather and company perfect.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Graham Hickman has a love for the mountains and a passion to share it that is obvious to everyone. His knowledge, wit and experience, together with a few little extra trips thrown in made this a special trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Yes, double check everything you get told by the admin team, unfortunately the opinion of their accuracy was not high!

TOUR DU MONT BLANC
This was a fantastic trek, taking in 3 countries in a week. The scenery was stunning and varied, as was the weather.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing up to the highest pass, looking back at what we had already covered and looking ahead into Italy.The flowers were fantastic all along the route, but especially at his point which made it all the more stunning.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alison was fantastic; appeared very laid back but was very skilled at managing the group. She demonstrated what was in her rucksack at the beginning of the trip. As a result most people carried a lot less, making the trip much more manageable and enjoyable..you really do NOT need lots of changes of clothing, when staying mainly in mountain huts.She was also clearly very fit and experinced in the mountains, and always cheerful and positive.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Ensure you have a good level of fitness and have walked in mountains beforehand; it makes it much more enjoyable.Do not take too much stuff; quick drying gear which can be washed out and dry overnight is ideal, but be prepared for rain/sleet/snow.

TOUR DU MONT BLANC
It was quite an experience circling the Mont Blanc Massif and each day was different. There were a couple of days of easy walking to get your kit settled in and then some real treking.
Most Inspirational Moment
The best day was climbing up to Lac Blanc. It's the busiest part of the route but for good reason, climbing ladders attached to the rockface, seeing Ibex at close quarters, seeing the views of Mont Blanc from the lake and descending into Chamonix all made for a fantastic days trek.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We were in safe hands with Graham. He knew so much about the different routes and the best way to go and he managed to challenge everyone in the group by adding in extras.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel as light as you can because you'll be carrying your kit and there are plenty of places on route to get fresh water or drinks.
