I've flown to Allos 3 or 4 times earlier this year. I had another flight there today, but I can safely say I worked harder for my flight today than in all those earlier flights combined. Instead of cruising above ridge height, I was below ridge height for quite a while. When I got high afterwards, staying out of the clouds was the problem. I landed in Allos with a group of Swiss. One of the pilots had got caught in the clouds and was very relieved to be on the ground; he told us stories of all his lines freezing up as he sat in a puddle of cold water.
I hitched back and got a lift right away from a lovely couple from Avignon.
