Blayeul and Daffodils
Today I hiked Blayeul, a mountain near Digne, and it was a long day.The mountain is nicer to fly than it is to hike - a long, flat looking ridge actually has quite a lot of 'bumps' on it when you are hiking. The weather was poor (rain showers, turning to snow showers at the top) and it felt more like a hike in Scotland. But the recompense was seeing some daffodils growing in the wild near the summit - the first I've seen them in the south of France.
I'm Scottish and based in Pau with my wife. I've been doing less flying lately but spend a lot of time outdoors hiking and cycling and hope to do some more skiing in the winter months.
