Day 15 - I Re Magi to Nevache - Wild Clouds

Clouds and wind in the descent of the Col des Thures

We woke up to a nasty surprise - heavy rain, not what was forecast. We also know that some very bad weather is due tomorrow, so we got ready very slowly and discussed different strategies to reach Briancon. We decide to go to Nevache today; it's a short day, up over the Col des Thures. We climb up in the mist with some light rain but things improve dramatically as we reach the top. Clouds are swirling around all over the place; we see another hiker 100 meters away, but then the clouds swallow him up. The rest of the hike is dry and pretty spectacular. 

We stop in Nevache for a steak frites and then continue to our gite. We have a so-so evening meal and look nervously at the forecasts for tomorrow.
