Chamonix at 7.30
The queue
Going up on the cable car
Irwyn checking out the weather
Mike enjoys the view
Two climbers lead off down the arret
Sorting the kit
Crampons on
Out we go
Ian past the gate
Down
A skier on his way over from Italy wishes us luck
The arret behind us
We set off for launch
Ever vigilant Irwyn checks the sky and wind
Cloud descends
but not gloom
We sit it out
and are rewarded
We are ready for take off
Others rush to join us
Richard is off
A quick
glance over
his shoulder
He leaves us and flys off
Over the Salle a Manger
Along the Mere de Glace
Heading for Montenvers
Chamonix and the landing field come into view
Ian follows
and lives
the dream
to land safely
Mike has a bit of difficulty taking off in no wind
In the end he did it easily
Mike follows the others
Delighted to take off
he enjoys the view
Another safe landing
Richard has been waiting
With everyone safe Irwyn followed
The mountain is empty once more
Beer o'clock
Yeah!!
