En France!

 Haven't updated this for a while now but you'll be glad to hear we have made it through France safe and sound and are now in Le Havre waiting for the ferry back to Portsmouth. Sorry for the lack of progress reports, but no internet anywhere! Here are some photos from along the way. Will be back in London by 6pm tomorrow (Monday) evening. Come along!

Switzerland

Exhausting day today! Covered 83.6miles over the mountains. Great fun down the other side thought! Staying in Martigny tonight, heading down to Lausanne tomorrow morning.

Col de Grand St Bernard 2470m
After planning to stop just short of the Col de Grand St Bernard we decided to make a push for it. Climbing over 2470m we arrived at the summit at 5pm. After the obligatory photo shoot, we shot down the other side and stayed in Martigny for the night. Shame our lie-in this morning cost us 38 swiss francs!

Also if you want to hear Murphy bottling an interview on radio Shropshire go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0095pkh/John_Darvall_09_08_2010/ the clip is at about 1:52.35. Hilarious
