Hi all,

Ive managed to secure a place on the CCC this year (eek!) and am in the early stages of looking at flights etc. Just wondered if anyone could give me a few tips. Firstly on when to go out - I was thinking about going out the Friday or Saturday of the week before (CCC is on the Friday) to acclimatize, take a look round and look at bits of the route hopefully. Would this give me long enough to acclimatize etc?

Also, Im hoping to share a chalet with some fellow runners, which hopefully will be central to Chamonix, but they will be going out a couple of weeks earlier to climb and stuff. Is there anyone who is also thinking about going out the week beforehand, that I could share the transfer from Geneva to Chamonix with (bit daunting going on my own!)

thanks peeps!
