Arriving in Challes-Les-Eaux the name suddenly made sense, this was a spa town, and quite a nice one at that. And just a few steps from the camping was the obligatory boulangerie, boucherie and a little supermarket. This will do perfectly, especially as the campsite is on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/9492023695\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=9492023695&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=dailyposts-21&amp;linkId=aef66dcc7c7f4b1336b048934aadde9f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACSI discount scheme<\/a>, so is only costing \u20ac18 a night.<\/p>\n<p>The clouds never lifted, which normally isn&#8217;t an issue, but when you are surrounded by mountains you can see how low they are as they cut off the hunks of granite in their prime. As we pitched up the heavens opened and thunder roared overhead. The following morning the skies were still grey as we walked the five minutes to the bus stop. For the princely sum of \u20ac1.40 each, we sat back and enjoyed Chambery rush hour traffic until we reached our destination &#8211; the train station.<\/p>\n<p>With final instructions on how to empty the loo (something I have never done before, it&#8217;s a blue job in our van) Jay headed off to his platform and was gone.

The hillside was criss-crossed with them, so I picked one going on the other side of the hill and set off. Almost immediately I lost the path, or rather I was on the wrong path. So I nipped through the forest and picked up the one I needed.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I will say my big lesson learned today is one that we use in Zagan all the time &#8211; if it&#8217;s not sign-posted don&#8217;t follow it. Usually this applies to our satnav, who loves a sneaky short-cut down a narrow lane instead of a perfectly good wide road. In this case, I was following maps.me assuming it would be a nice wide path I could run on, it wasn&#8217;t. It was worse than the path up. The rain from the day before made the moss and rocks extra slippy and it felt like every plant overhanging the path had thorns on it. My trail shoes were caked with mud and offered no grip as I slid on rocks and clung onto trees to hold myself upright. All the while cursing myself for being so stupid and wondering what I would do if I did hurt myself (the answer being, I&#8217;d probably have to ring Jay in London to get me help!).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35646\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Mont St Michel walk signpost, Challes-Les-Eaux, France\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576-705x397.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_20190612_113244878_HDR-1024x576-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a large amount of swearing, picking thorns out of my arms, hands and legs and holding back of tears (there was no point in crying, I needed to get back), I reached the bottom of the &#8216;path&#8217;, I was greeted with the above sign warning people not to attempt to climb it unless they had the right equipment (does three jelly babies count?). They probably didn&#8217;t need to put a sign at the top as no one would be stupid enough to try and come down it! Eventually after over three and a half hours I made it back to Zagan, caked in mud and blood and wishing I had never heard of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/final-weeks-of-training-for-the-gornergrat-zermatt-ultra-marathon-2019\/\">Zermatt Half Marathon<\/a> (which is now only 23 days away).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m now starting to get seriously worried about it. My knee is holding up fine, but being out of action for so long has caused me to lose a lot of my fitness. The furthest I have run since I fell is 13km which was flat (I had to walk a lot of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/life-and-death-on-the-alpe-dhuez\/\">Alpe d&#8217;Huez run last week<\/a>). Zermatt will be 21km, uphill at altitude. It&#8217;s going to take some serious mind games and training to get me up there, but we&#8217;re doing it to raise money for the British Lung Foundation and people have already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/juandjayzermatt2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sponsored us<\/a>, so there&#8217;s no backing out now. However, if you ever hear me talk about running up a mountain again &#8211; please feel free to shout at me!<\/p>\n<p>Ju x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zagan the motorhome is hooked-up to the electric at the municipal campsite Le Savoy in Challes-Les-Eaux, just outside Chambery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[417,53],"tags":[467,134],"class_list":["post-35635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motorhome-blog","category-france-motorhome","tag-camper","tag-motorhome"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
