Argentiere la Bessee – Saturday 1st August

A lift down the valley from John and Jim for some shopping and a look at a rather large ice axe!

Also a chance to try out a bonfire and some burnt sausages!

The whole area has a ban on bonfires however certain areas are authorised as being ok for fires to be lit, apparently something to do with the closeness of a river keeping the gound damp. Certainly some groups had the campfire bit down to a fine art with piles of wood and perhaps the smoke kept the mosquitoes away!
