After doing my warming up exercises for the GR20 at the weekend with Sally<\/a>. I thought it might be interesting to have another look at my GR5 walk last year.<\/p>\n

Day 7 was one of my longer days. I left the excellent Chalet de Nant Borrant (1460m) at 07.45. By 10.43 I was atop Col de la Croix-du-Bonhomme (2483m). I negotiated the very narrow path<\/a> on Crete des Gittes and arrived at Refuge du Plan de la Laie (1815m) which was going to my finish at 12.28.<\/p>\n

Since it was a pleasant day and still so early, I thought, I would do the next day as well. The thunder clouds were forming as I arrived pretty exhausted, after all the bouldering,<\/a> on the Col de Bresson (2469m) at 16.37.<\/p>\n

I raced down the other side to arrive luckily at the Chalet de la Balme<\/a> (2009m) at 17.10, just before the storm broke. A lucky escape.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Total ascent was 2193m and descent 1683m in a 23.4km route. according to memory map.<\/p>\n

Here is the route plotted in google earth:-<\/a><\/p>\n
