Ninthace - That's where I had food, on the terrace of that refuge in the sunshine, I remember the building well because the modern materials on the end looked out of place to me in that landscape. The weather soon became terrible, I walked on and on in blinding rain and fog for hours, I saw nothing of the landscape all day. I had to walk through a designated bear area but by then I didn't care, I was just too exhausted and miserable. When I passed through the gate which ended that area, by then it was dark, I soon came across a ski hut, the very first building as you approach Superbagnores from that direction. It was empty and locked but had a veranda with a wooden slatted floor so I climbed over the fence, pitched my tent on the wooden floor, stripped off and dried myself. I was soaked to the skin and shivery cold and it just proved to me once again how well expensive waterproof clothing works! Once in my tent and when I eventually warmed up I slept like a log. The next morning was brilliant sunshine!
