In September 2024 three of us (myself, David Eardley (Fellman Dave) and Ewan Ker (Cronus) attempted to do as much of the Tour Du Mont Blanc as we could in a few days holiday. Although we crossed France, Italy and Switzerland it was not without it's weather challenges as September brought frequent and prolonged rain. All in all, we covered about 7 stages, 120km and 7000m of ascent. Although I never intended to make a full vlog, here's how it went in a diary nutshell. It's also worth looking at Fellman Dave's video as he started on an earlier stage and finished at Courmayeur due to time constraints: • 60 and WILD CAMPING th...

Well, I enjoyed that tremendously! You did a lot more filming than I thought. Liked the last few days whistle stop too. Though I dont remember the weather being that bad! Thanks guys, memories for a lifetime. What says it all, is Andy, back at home looking pretty buff there!

That was epic Andy. Stunning stunning alps but with a really Scottish weather vibe. Looked really arduous but with lots of stunning distractions. Climbed there 30 years ago ......brought back the memories. Your photos were absolutely stunning, and yet as you know, the camera seldom does the scene real justice no matter the camera or the photographrr so it must have been mind blowing in real time"being there!!!". Tremendous.

Highly enjoyable video. Looked like a great wee holiday. I always mix a bit of touristy stuff with walking a route when I'm in France.

Chapeau Mr Park... The last thing you must have expected was weather worse than the homeland... Pretty grim.. but what about those views... A-Mazing. That Swiss campsite similar to you back garden on a tent rain test eh? .. thanks for sharing your trip A.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Hi Jim, at its worst it was worse than Scotland ( but couldn't film for fear of busting my phone ) but when the sun was out some of those views made it all worthwhile. I need to go back and finish some stages in Switzerland if you fancy a long weekend next summer 🌞 ?!

@@AndrewParkOutdoors tell you what - if I can shmooz a pass out I'll carry your bag... 😎😎😎😎😎

[@justmyopiniontoday7548]

Such dramatic views. The big international trip: yes you can say we must be stoic, make our own fun, and be adaptable - but wind and rain can just demolish plans. Thx for posting.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

It was more Scottish weather than Scotland 😂

[@Winkle141]

Oreyt, was just watching you review of the x-mid and noticed your Scottish accent I was the Yorkshire lad you was chatting to at camping des glacier in Switzerland. 🇨🇭 hope you’re well
