The remaining tweets will be coming from Mr Ferriman - expect them to start one they arrive back in the UK early tomorrow. I'm off climbing.

Mr Ferriman's attempt to order a ham and cheese toasty in french did not work out too well.

In a cave dug into a glacier on Monday

Field work in Annecy earlier in the week. Varying degrees of enthusiasm.

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Packing. It's been a fabulous week. Last night we did a dashing white sergeant in the street. That's how we roll :-)

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Cheese factory this morning at Beaufort. Fascinating and tasty :-) lunch in the sun now we're off to visit a limestone cave.

Fun in Annecy. Geographical study then pedalos in the lake. Some splashing took place. Rosie was particularly intent on drenching everyone.

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Caves, gorges and Annecy today. It's a chilly morning!

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Time for a spot of post-dinner human geography work, based on observations in Chamonix this afternoon

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Still no reliable wifi in hotel, so the blog is on hold. Hopefully we'll get going tonight.

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

@LYNDSAYETIP to be honest I think I'm the only one obsessed with the next meal! Clouds blocked our views today, but we still had fun in Cham

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

It's raining. Not really a problem, given that our plan is to disappear into the belly of a glacier this morning.

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Excellent day out - a walk up to the Trient Glacier then the summer luge in Chamonix. Lots of geographical chat. Now for more food :-)

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Alice has just disposed of an unopened prawn salad she brought with her from NB. Probably wise! Great walk this afternoon. More grub at 7

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

Settled into the hotel and well fed. We'll be going out for a walk in a wee bit. No wifi yet so photos will have to wait.

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

http://t.co/K5NmdYJtYo is the blog address. We'll post stuff there during the week provided we have wifi in the hotel.

The sun is shining and Miss Ritchie is eating a tin of rice pudding. It takes all sorts!

[NBHS Alps Trip 2013 @nbhsalps2013]

We have just had breakfast at Macon. Well ahead of schedule!
