Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc is for me, always tempting, I've done it anticlockwise starting at Les Houche and I stayed and ate in the Refuge Bonatti, a fantastic setting, hot sunshine and had a great time. The second time I hiked clockwise from Chamonix and just ate there. I camped around the back, up the hill. This time it was pouring with rain. I erected my tent at the Bonatti and carried it to a very nice area of grass, I got a bit wet but not enough to stop me sleeping well. Going on this hike again so far ahead in time is for me I'm afraid just too far ahead. I've got to get through 2019 first. If it's still your plan next year and you know which month and dates please suggest it again.
