Chamonix, France - 2-9 July

Actually it doesn't matter as I've just realised that it's July and we are already away that first weekend. Sorry.

***ACCOMADATION ***
After chatting with someone who has local, Courmayeur has been chosen as the location. If a post holiday witch hunt is required, the name will be forthcoming .
I should have said in the original post, the accomadation will be a challet of some description, not a leaky tent in a muddy field.
