Le Chazelet, La Grave, French&#160;Alps
By darrenmcaulay


Summer in the Alps (just an excuse to avoid the rain and midges in Skye?). At the end of June I returned to my summer retreat in&#160;Le Chazelet. The sun was shining on the Meije, the GR54 and the splendid Ecrins Massif. July 6th saw me off on a wee trip to Switzerland. Val D’Anniviers and Zermatt were the destination – trekking with Keith from&#160;Hillways. The busy streets and disneyland resemblance of Zermatt were no match...]]></description>

I returned to the Isle of Skye, Scotland for the guiding season of May-June. Long daylight hours, good weather and lack of midges make these months the best to visit the Skye and the infamous Cuillin mountains and atmospheric sea cliffs. The Cuillin Munros all saw a few ascents with various groups and parties. Other notable climbs were made of the Inaccessible Pinnacle, Pinnacle Ridge, the Cioch, Dubh Ridge and the Basteir Tooth. The sea cliffs at Neist, Flodigarry and Elgol (Suidhe Biorach)...]]></description>
