Today was a good day. We set a task of Sederon/Logis du Pin/Aosta for a silly 550kms and all set off as a pack from Serres around midday. We used the ridges to start withand bounced St Genis and Chabre, turned Sederon and dropped back onto the Lure. We ran that East, crossed the valley to Vaumuse and picked 6 kts off Authon at the top of the ridge. One more climb near Digne and we were across to the proper cumulus and some good climbs on the way South East. Here we were joined by the deserter Hurd in 218 who joined the banter in between checking in with Big Brother at Sisteron. We pretty much all turned Logis together and started North, going West to dodge the showers kicking off behind Par Cours. By now it was pretty clear that Aosta wasn't on but did that stop us? Actually, yes it did. Instead we carried on North via Barcellonette and St Crepin and as if by magic appeared at Glacier Blanc.
It would have been rude not to but after we'd done the traditional glacier run we decided to head for home and beers. The run back was a doddle and we landed around 6pm.
Splendid stuff- more again tomorrow please!
