We are here!!
Firstly - we're not illiterate, we're just struggling with these foreign kezboards - onest!!
The 2007 Alpine meet is well underwaz. 20 course members with 5 guides have headed off around to Zinal for their intro to Alpine Mountaineering course, leaving 12 of us here in Saas Grund to enjoz what the mountains have to offer.
The meet started last thurs when two men, 1 camper van (Thank yu Room with a view campers!!), 2 pairs of Birkenstocks, 1 very big and red marquee and a mass of kit including BBQ's, chairs left Manchester for Dover. The Seafrance crossing (zet another thank zou) was quick ad a few hours kip were grabbed in a layby before pushing through to get here.
2 meet members had beaten us here and had staked the BMC claim to the pitch which the campsite have kindlz allocated us. Much swearing was followed by much embarrassmnent as the http://www.thebmc.co.uk/ red marquee was errected (there's no denying who we are!)and the brew stuff set up for the quick removal of meet goers eyebrows (stove needs some attention!).
Groups have since been up the Mittaghorn via the via ferrata (1 near miss to a flying boulder compliments of one of our continental cousins!!), the Allalinhorn, the Lagginhorn, some scenic balcony footpaths around the valley and to the valleyhead to the Golden Madonna (with the bg boobies) and a look down into Italy.
Course members back around this side on Wednesday night, weather due to break a bt so we'll see what happens.
Regards.
