TMB 12 Chamonix - that's the TMB.

---

Just as happy to take the chair lift up as we where to take it down last night. Up to 2500 m to Le Brevent. Again spectacular views over Mt Blanc and over the glacial mouths that emerge from the mountains nearby. The sky was abuzz with hang gliders and kites that soared around us most of the day. They hover, soar, dip, glide but look so serene and peaceful. Really quite amazing. All downhill today (from 2500 m that should not be a big surprise!) which can be tough on knees and as some sections require ladders and steel rope and lots have stones, stones, stones underfoot care is certainly demanded even when you think you've nearly finished. Last Refuge (Bellechat) and unbelievably no icy poles (not so unbelievable really), last significant landmark (Le Christ Roi - a huge monument similar to Christ the Redeemer but without the same PR consultant), last few signs posts for the TMB and back into Les Houches. A lemonade and a cake (and that is in no way a put down) and the trophy photo (thanks stranger who had no idea why we were so happy!)

And now it's back to the rain shower time.

I'll blog again from Chamonix but very soon it's time for the KLW.

Very happy to have made that chairlift the other day. And by definition a selfie has me in it!

Bingo. We also walked up the street for a cake. Tomorrow we are seriously thinking of going paragliding.

Bun
We made it and we are really good. The KLW has more distance per day but slightly reduced walking hours as the terrain is friendlier.
