Thank you Andy for a fantastic week touring in the Bernese Oberland with our great little group. I was blown away by the scale and majestic beauty of the place, with its 4000m peaks and glaciers flowing and hanging in every direction. From our entry at the Jungfraujoch to our exit down the Lötschental, your guiding, route-finding and snippets of teaching during the week were superb. Your individual advice and coaxing helped me at crucial times to overcome my particular bugbear, fear. I will never forget your and Steve's booming laughter at my exclamation HMMG!! at the Fieschergrat, peering over the edge to the 1000m drop below! And a special thank you for conveniently parking my ski to catch my falling iphone on that smooth steep slope! You obviously have magical powers!

My log in is now fixed, thanks Andy.
The Oberland week was excellent with Andy meticulously looking out for our safety, giving us a clear and memorable tutorial on crevasse rescue (keeping it simple for us mortals who don't get to practice too often) and constantly imparting advice and knowledge throughout the week.
He also chose suitably interesting but attainable objectives for our little group including 3 summits.
