Blog timed at 11:28 a.m. British Summer Time. Phone call at 10:40 a.m. Dan slept last night in his tent in the wilderness running low on food and water. He took off too early this morning and has ended up near Chaudanne which is at the southern end of the lakes which have Saint-Andre-les-Alps at their northern end. He mentioned having booked into a camp site which has a restaurant and won't be doing any more flying today. Hopefully a bit of civilisation will enable him to replenish his fuel tanks and have shower which will affect his sense of proportion. His manner on the phone indicated disappointment in having covered far less distance than he had hoped. Dehydration and starvation combined with walking up significant hills is bound to lead to misjudgement.
