2 day touch down before Mt Blanc

I'm now back in my London flat on this beautiful sunny day after a 14hr car journey from Corpach in Scotland yesterday. I only have 2 days to get my things together before jetting off the Chamonix where myself and two friends, Adam and Dan, are going to attempt a summit of Mt Blanc.

I've been adjutated all morning by my travel insurance company who have put me on hold, hung up on my and transfered me to anyone in the company who definately can't help me at least 10 times. All I want to know if if the winter sports insurance that I have coveres me for mountaineering. Having no suceess and intereperating the small print in a pessimistic way I've decided to take out additional insurance. The BMC website was great as it only took me 5 mins to set this up - Thanks BMC!
