Before we go any higher, I have to crash out for a while......

While my eldest boy waits patiently for the old man to recover....

A bit higher up they survey the pathetic lowlanders

and the mountain top gets closer

soon we we reach the snow, very exciting for those of us who live in climes where it simply never, ever snows, or even comes close....

so they can't resist sliding

and I am pretty stoked too

even higher
