Running the OCC, Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc UTMB 2016

Running the OCC - UTMB 2016

A first hand account of tackling the OCC race

Dragging myself out of bed at 4am and onto a bus at 5:30am goes against every fibre of my being, so there had to be a good reason for putting myself in this situation. Getting to the start line of the OCC is half the battle, in my opinion, so running 55km through the mountains would surely be a breeze after that.

servoz sheep festival

Servoz Foire aux Moutons 2015

It was that time of year again...time for the Sevoz Sheep Festival

I have several friends who rate this as their favourite day of the year. Not only for the autumnal sunshine, spectacular views from the village of Servoz, the sheep, cows and tractors...but more importantly for the freshly pressed apple juice and potato beignets (doughnut or fritter) on sale.
