Cheers Little Nose, what have you got planned? Where do you think you will be heading?
Oliver – I’m glad you’ll get to do it, the best descents we did were in these next few days! The best… as in one of the best of my life is on Day 8 so watch out for that ;).
In retrospect we thought it might be a bit spooky camping in the fort haha, also it was in shade pretty early in the evening, the other side of the col was nice and sunny :).
As for shops, you’ll get food in Maljasset at the Auberge (no shop though), then there is a guy that sells enough food to make yourself a simple breakfast, lunch and dinner at Fouillouse as shown in my pic but it is expensive of course. There is b*ggar all at L’arche! There is a real nice old rustic cafe at Bousiéyas and then you’ll get yourself a decent Pizza in St-Dalmad-Le-Selvage (this is a seriously nice little village btw). However the next shop was not until St-Étienne-de-Tinée which is a proper town with all you need!
