Made it!
Having done our training and acclimatisation it looked like
we were not going to get up Mont Blanc because of bad weather, with forecast of
thunder and lightning and heavy snow on the day we had planned our attempt.
Fortunately, we got a break in the weather and had a beautiful sunny clear day
for our attempt on the summit, a day earlier than planned. We went via Mont
Blanc de Tacul and Mont Maudit, a long but spectacular route. We could see for
hundreds of miles and look down on the summits for miles around. It was
exhilarating but exhausting!
I am extremely grateful for all those who have sponsored me
and help raise money for the Circulation Foundation. Anyone who has not
donated, do not worry you still can via the justgiving link.

Thank you for your generosity.
