Hello

With less than two weeks to go I thought it might be time for introductions. I'm Charles from the northern uplands of Gloucestershire (aka The Cotswolds). This will be my first trek so any tips from 'old hands' would be useful. I've been getting in some mountain walking by way of preparation but if I mention I completed the 'Three Peaks' last month with Ben Nevis in a bit under fifty years I might be giving too much away! I'm on the group flight so may see some of you at Heathrow otherwise looking forward to meeting you all in Chamonix and to a great fortnight's walking.
