Efficient Progress

Day 39 - Return to Civilisation

Looking straight at the spectacular Mont Blanc sets the backdrop for most of the day. A much needed pitstop at the only open supermarket in Les Houches makes recharging with fresh products and the delightfully surprising Liquorice Allsorts possible. Consistent inclines follow as the clouds thicken and raindrops start to fall. An earlier than usual end to the day's hiking proves sensible with a significant amount of rain falling down on a hugely crowded campsite, quite the contrast to the previous night.
