    A lost crampon and a sick K

    January 5, 2020 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

    Poor K was feeling really rough after a v hot, sweaty night so sadly had to stay in bed whilst Lowena and I drove to Le Crosets for some snow walking.
    Little crampons on and it was up a steep slope immediately to follow walking route 5.
    We walked for about 40 mins before arriving at a cafe/ restaurant called Relais where we stopped for a coffee before visiting their alpacas and miniature ponies!
    The resident cats Tic and Tac were super cute and sought out a warm lap as the sun rose.
    Sadly at this point I realised one of my crampons has pinged off somewhere along the way ( I hadn’t even noticed!).
    Anyway it was so super beautiful we carried on for another half an hour before turning back around to the cafe for a wine this time!
    Back down retracing our steps we managed to spot the errant crampon!
    We returned home at about 2pm for lunch after walking about 9kms in the most stunning snowy scenery.
    The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing before cooking a roast for dinner. Totally top day
