Temperatures dropped by 10 degrees in an hour and a half this afternoon as another front pushed in. It was positively balmy, but overcast this morning before the winds picked up late morning and brought with them the low, which has given us heavy skies and lower temps. We had decided to go for a short trot to stretch our legs up towards the Pic d'Estibat and along to the spur before the Sommet des Griets which we followed down and around to the path that led back to the Col de Port, a pleasant little circuit of just 4.75kms but with around 370m of steep ascent, taking in a beautiful little 'glen' that has an amazingly wild feel to it! As we were making our way back down, we could see the front rapidly approaching and the skies darkened, so we put a spurt on and got back to the car just in time. On the way, we spotted several beautiful little flowers which I have not yet identified? Any ideas?
Thank you Lee! Dog's tooth violet it is!
