An Idea for a ‘Boy Adventure’ is hatched

‘Boy Adventure’ coined by my wife, is a period of a few days, up to a week, while I am home from work. It is a time to let off steam with one or more of my friends. These nearly always involve a ridiculous exertion of energy.

Like all such journeys they start with a small idea. This idea becomes shared and either embraced or dropped. This one was expected to be dropped but was instead, fully embraced by my friend David. Hooray for him because this was to be a grand adventure..

The location of the trip was decided upon easily. Chamonix, France, and in particular the Tour Du Mont Blanc in the Alps. A 108 mile circuit around the perimeter valleys of the Mont Blanc Massif, climbing and descending several mountain passes adding up to a staggering 11000 meters of ascent!
