Glacier hike



Hi all,

Apologies for the lack of photos but we are suffering with a very slow internet connection and are going to be evicted, Big Brother-style, in 6 minutes!

Today we were again up about 7.15am (honest!) and out at 8.30, for a stroll down to Kandersteg station. We got the train through the Lochtsberg tunnel and down in to Brig, then another train up to Feisch. From there we caught a cable car up to the top near the Eggishorn and walked about 90 minutes around to the biggest glacier in Europe, the name of which eludes me and Roger just now! It was amazing; we'd love to post a pic.

Tomorrow we have the over 14's hiking in the morning then climbing in the afternoon while the under 14's get the morning off and hike in the afternoon. We all meet at a mountain hut, with no internet at all! We will hopefully post more stories on Thursday, along with a catch up of photos.

Well, that's 2 mins to go and it'll take that long to post, so we'll sign out now and say goodnight, with a cheery, slightly sunburnt wave!

Dave and Roger
