The tan’s getting serious but the legs still shake at the sight of the hills around here!

A couple of days of “tapering” and then the Haute Route starts on Sunday. 21000 metres of climbing and 780km in 7days – OUCH!!

You can follow Greg’s progress with live tracking at www.hauteroute.org – hopefully they’ll be patient enough to keep the timing mats in place until I reach them each day.
