Kandersteg is at 1172m. We got going at 0845, me taking everything in my rucksack (which is Jane's old one - Dad had mine). A flog up to the Üschinental. Dad took the rucksack for 15 minutes but that was it. He got very puffed on one horrid steep section spoilt by the road. Still, we got up to the Bunderchrinde 2384m in 4 hours exactly, which was not bad really. Good views NE including the Jungfrau and Blumlisalp ranges. Dad carried the rucksack down for most of the way, which is a much easier path. We met a nice American girl at the top and I sent her off over the Gemmi, I think. If no Dad, I would have gone into reverse and taken her! We had a can of alcohol-free beer above Adelboden, where I rang the airport who said the rucksack had not turned up and we must buy clothes and claim. This actually simplifies matters. Like Arosa, Adelboden at 1348m sits up the opposite side of the valley & we had to descend to 1201m first. We booked into the Hotel Adler but there was no chef. Then, we raided Oester Sport and spent £400 on my Barclaycard fitting Dad out again. That was only essentials. Then, to the Hotel Alpenrose for a big dinner and a bottle of Fendant.
