By the time I got to Grenoble I was three days ahead of schedule. Because friends had booked flights and were expecting to meet me at a particular place, I had to lose some days. Some friends near Grenoble had offered to put me up so taking a few days out made a lot of sense. I finished walking on the Wednesday and was back in Grenoble lunch time on the Saturday. It rained almost continually for the three days so my timing for once was impeccable.

Getting to the Swiss border, where the E4 turns firmly east, involves a journey of some 245 kms, 10,500 metres of climb and 9110 of descent. It took me 9 days with some long days where the accommodation was a bit limited.
