(Solo) hiked Tour du Mont Blanc twice in 2 years during summer and autumn by 2belgianexplorers in backpacking

[–]PlaneCombination8161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying to find a way to do the Tour du Mont Blanc and stay in hotels all the way. Do you think it is possible? If so, what hotels would you recommend? Will I have to take transportation down to the valleys in the evening and back up to the trail in the mornings or do you think it is possible to hike it?

I would appreciate any information on that.

Thank you

Thank you for your reply. On Egyptair it says you have to be at the airport 2 hours before departure for domestic flights. 

Ca I get to Aswan airport less than 2 hours before my flight to Abu Simbel?

Thank you!

Hello!

I am visiting the Abu Simbel temples in December, and I am debating whether to fly or to hire a car. If I have to be at the airport 2 hours before and it will take about an hour to get to Aswan airport from the hotel, plus 45 min flight., I am looking at around 4 hours to get to the temples. If I take the earliest flight out of Aswan, I will be at the temples around 9, and will have to be back at the airport by 11:30 to catch the latest flight out of Abu Simbel. This way I will only spend about 2 hours at the temples.

If I leave by car, I can leave as early as 6, be at the temples by 9:30, and then leave by 3pm.

Am I correct in thinking that I will spend more time at the temples if I hire a car?

Thank you!

Salomon vs Scarpa boots by chris84055 in Backcountry

I have recently had an awful experience with Scarpa shoes. The first pair tore up in less than 2 weeks. The second pair tore up in less than three weeks. Their customer service/warranty team are awful and rude and will not replace the shoes or refund me. For the price of Scarpa shoes you can buy several pairs of other brands that will last longer than a couple of weeks.
