Recommendations For Early June For Hiking Begginer


annagl

Recommended Posts

we are couple, and we are thinking about visiting Chamonix on June 3-7.

I was hiking before , but its the first time for my husband, and i'm looking for some "friendly" one day hiking routes? (not in the snow, but in the valley)

is there any recommendations for us for this time of the year ?

what huts are opened during next week?

is there any other activity we can do in Chamonix during this days?


thank you all :)

LOL... I laughed for a solid minute. This has made my morning. I don't think I have ever had anyone actually think that I was, or they themselves were, referring to the "REAL' Montblanc.

 

I'll admit, unfamiliar with the mountain, but we do have members from all over the world, so your question may see some responses.

Don't tell me they're all FAKES????

 

ps.....I have to admit that I was left puzzled for more than a minute! All sorts of things went through my head ...is there a pen event at Chamonix? Do MB have a museum there? Then I scrolled down to Opooh's response! Did I feel silly!

Great! Thank you.

 

 

 

Mont Blanc = mountain

Montblanc = brand for writing instruments, watches etc.

 

However, many of us also mix both ... for example, if you search here, some users still use "Mont Blanc" ... and refer to fountain pens ... which is also wrong.

Inquiring. This never happened before!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

If you do a search for Montblanc on ebay it comes up with a number of items. If you add the phrase "Mont Blanc" to the search in the advanced box, the number is the same. So ebay have selected both spelling options as one search if you see what I mean

Imagine this, The couple shows up at the factory floor and taps on one of the gruff voiced German machinist asking him where the trail was.

Whew......I was just about to go to London Zoo to see the pelicans. :D

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

Or queueing by the feed section waiting for breakfast?

 

Or spending too long in a Mont Blanc bierkeller and going home piston broke (sorry for that!)

Imagine a newbie FPN member comes to Chamonix and ask where he has to be for a guided factory tour.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
