Blog timed at 3:50 p.m. Phone call about 2:30 p.m. Dan intended to walk from Castellane to St-Andre-les-Alpes along the sides of the lakes but someone kindly gave him a lift. From St-Andre I assume he must have done some walking uphill to reach a launch site and then managed a flight of 34km to end up at les Trois Eveches. At the time of his call he was walking the Tete de l'Estrop, marked on the map at 2,961m,
which is about 8,000ft above sea level. He said the temperature up there is a lot more comfortable than down in the valleys and the panorama is spectacular. Let's hope the altitude doesn't cause oxygen starvation.
