Feeling fit (!) and refreshed we set off just after dawn


John's hobby is drawing, especially buildings, so he couldn't just walk past this church


Walking high up, approaching Col de la Seigne


Relaxing at over 2500m, taking in the gorgeous view. This is the Col de la Seign, the border between France and Switzerland


More beautiful alpine flowers


The person on the end of the line is Caron Ericsonn, a past teacher at Martin's school. It was amazing when we discovered she had taught Robin! Standing with Rifugio Elisabetta behind, just perched on the hillside. This was the highest place we spent the night in on the walk
