Day 8: Evolene to Cabane de Moiry.
distance 16kms, time 9 hours

"Not part of the Walkers Haute Route so waymarking non-existent. Beautiful hot day, walked up through the alpine meadows to Col de Couronne (2987m). The path up the col climbed steeply, with a heavy rucsack my feet kept slipping on unstable scree and rock, certain parts involved scrambling. From the top headed down towards Moiry glacier, crossed on a level section and up a rough path to Cabane de Moiry (2825m)".

Day 9: Cabane Moiry to Zinal.
distance 13kms, time 6 hours

"The matron of the establishment woke me up at 6am! typical French breakfast of bread, jam and hot chocolate. Another dry, clear day, stayed on a high path contouring the mountainside, then slogged up Col de Sorebois. On reaching the col, magnificient scenery, the Bishorn and Weisshorn dominating the view. Ambled down piste tracks to Zinal and its small campsite outside town".
