Geneva!

I arrived in Geneva after a trouble free journey from Southend airport, the hotel is pretty central, new and I have a nice view of the mountains. 

I wandered down to the Haute Route Village which was a pleasant 15 minute walk from the hotel. When I got there the last of the finishers of this weeks haute route Dolomites were coming across the finished line

Whilst watching these guys finish and seeing how exhausted they all looked the enormity of the challenge suddenly hit me and I felt pretty lonely! I wished Nicola was with me to calm my nerves or some of the lads I usually do these challenges with to banter with and take my mind off it. 

I wandered back to the hotel with my head spinning and sat at the bar wondering what the hell I was doing! 

A few of the finishers joined me at the bar and we chatted about their week and how hard it had been but they all said it was great and gave me a few tips as to what to expect and a few do's & dont's which calmed me down a bit! 

Anyway there is no turning back now! 

The game begins tomorrow!
