We have a lot of driving ahead of us this weekend, so we thought it would be a good idea to wear ourselves out with a 30km, 1800m+, multi-summit tour of Chablais. I wanted to take Derek to experience a run I had done with Laura a few weeks back, but in reverse, and with a little addition. It was horribly hot which made the run extra difficult, but the views were rewarding and we had the mountains almost entirely to ourselves on this steamy day. I made an effort to drink from every fountain we passed and we plunged our faces into the water each opportunity.
Just after we began the final descent, I stopped to pet some friendly donkeys, and we had a short burst of rain. So refreshing! By the time we made it down from the mountain, we were dry again, and hot, so we dipped ourselves into a small stream just before our finish and drove home soaking wet.
