The next in the "Would you like to see...?" series is a small selection of photos from my Alpine hiking trip this weekend.

I did 3 summits - Gross Aubrig (1695m), Bockmattli (1840m) and Zindlenspitz (2093m), all done from about 900m. I couldn't tell you distances, as the trails are all marked in hour times rather than km/miles.

Not even slightly cold! It was 29°C at the bottom, so perhaps 18-20° at the summit, and the sun was very strong.

I did - the camera has a timer. Point, press, run (whilst avoiding falling down big cliff)

Some nice landscapes there. Just one question, in the 1st pic, your tent looks quite impressive, but what's that blue thing bottom right of the picture?

That was an alien space ship landing after I'd attached a torch to my forefinger.
