Switzerland with Geoff and Shaun and also Thomas for some of the holiday.
Sunday 26th June 2005: An uneventful journey out to Switzerland
although it did mean leaving home at 3am.
Monday 27th June 2005: Having missed out the summit of the
Trogenhorn last year we had to go back. About 7 hours walk from Habkern
via Trogenalp and back. A glorious day.

Tuesday 28th June 2005: A walk from Saxeten to the viewpoint at
Ballehochst and then on to Grutschalp. A lovely day again. We
started with a ride in the smallest Post-Coach I have used
On our way to Ballehochst

Thursday 30th June 2005: We decided to start our 2 day walk from
Murren to Kandersteg; the weather was not ideal but we had no other choice.
Ready for the "off" in Murren.
Heading for the Sefinenfurgge Pass (2612m)

hoped for.
The height at the pass was 2778m and 2834m at the Blumlisalp Hut
