Just when you don't think it can possibly rain any more...

...it probably will but my newly gained knowledge of which trees provide the most shelter saw me staying relatively dry for most of today. Day 2's route passes through the most remote landscapes I've ever seen in Europe and all four Sp's are highly enjoyable adrenaline shots..so, a cross-crountry day in the truest sense, but with a generous helping of FreerideAttitude[TM]. Thats all for now and time for a well-earned shower and to see if there's anything left in the hipflask! Digne to Colmars-Les-Alpes tomorrow.
