    Country looks amazing that he is in.

    Monday started out a bit average, stuck in Les 2Alps most of the morning getting supplies & prescription of dressings, etc from the Pharmacy for my finger.
    Felt a bit like a one armed paper hanger at first & have had to resort to walking with 1 pole. But once I was back in the mountains proper it was all fine.
    Beautiful village of Mizoen b4 the big afternoon climb. I stopped at Refuge des Mouterres & bivouac'd there. Lovely, welcoming people & great views.
    Big climb to Cime de la Valette (fantastic views) - walking around a mob of sheep with Patou/guard dogs (didn't fancy another run in with one of them).Very remote, no track or trail markers, just the app track log & occasional cairn
    Then over to Glacier de St Sorlin where I bivouac'd for the night - was a bit special camping at a glacier.
    More beautiful lakes, blueberry pickers & Para ponter with Mont Blanc in the distance.
    Bivouac at Refuge de la combe Madame.
    Quite a descent this morning then a big ascent up to the seven lakes but good to have most of
