We didnt visit the summit of Tacul on our way to climb Mont Blanc back in 2003, a solo attempt in 2004 failed due to my right Knee braking down.
Following surgery to reconstruct the leg/knee in 2006 I made another attempt in 2008 but was turned back by poor weather.
So this would be my last solo attempt and nothing was going to stop me this time not even the tricky rock scramble to the summit.

looks like you had a fabulous trip. Of tangent i know but do i keep seeing your mate Jeff in public houses around Bolton !!!!

Hi jono , Jeff or "Dougal" as we call him can be found lurching from drinking hole to drinking hole every Saturday night, say hello to him, he wont bite, although dont get to close as he's a wee bit smelly.
