Respite

The weather since Monday evening has been pretty foul, with a considerable amount of rain falling which has washed away all of the lower level snow. The rivers and streams are swollen with the meltwater. But we had a bit of respite earlier today and took advantage of the break to get out for a short 8.5km jog from Pissou, through the woods to Eycheboul and then back along a rough woodland track/footpath to Cartou, along the road to Caougnous and down to Pissou. It was good to stretch the legs again. Even more so as the low cloud and rain has returned again this evening. The forecast is for warmer, sunnier weather Saturday and Sunday before another dip in the temperatures and more snow above 1200m on Sunday night.
