Mont-Blanc - The Mistress of the French Alps


Later this month Chris Raybould, 62 will be heading to the French Alps to tackle one of the most impressive lumps of rock in Europe. He goes alone to take on the challenge which he describes as an amazing adventure and a once in a life time opportunity.

The aim first off is to enjoy some high altitude trekking and to carry out some glacier training and then if conditions are favourable and his health and state of mind are in top form then he will take on the mistress of the French Alps.

His progress, the highs and lows will be posted on The Outdoor Playground. I for one have full admiration for him and I cant wait to hear the tails which such an adventure will create.
