“It was a very, very tough challenge, but I’m so pleased to have taken it on,” said Beth. “We started out from Geneva early on Saturday morning, with stopovers in Allevard, Corps and Digne-les-Bains, before reaching Nice on Tuesday evening.

“The scenery was absolutely beautiful: mountains, lakes, gorges, waterfalls, even a deer and a lizard or two!”
