We arrived back in Wengen on Monday evening, after a journey beset by delays. Yesterday was spent getting the house in order for summer, but today we can get out in the open air. The Swiss forecast says rain from midday, whilst the BBC say it should stay dry until three. We head up to Männlichen.

We haven’t been up here since my accident in March – by the time my ribs had healed Männlichen had closed. It’s a pleasant morning, warm and a little hazy. There’s still lots of snow alongside the path.

The walk around to Scheidegg is very relaxed. The Eiger is ever present above us.

Eventually we reach Kleine Scheidegg, where a train is waiting to take us back down to Wengen.

The rain began a little before two. Colin is playing at the Alpine hotel later, so we’ll have a nice night out.
