INTO THE MOUNTAINS - OUT OF THE RAIN

As darkness fell last night the rain intensified. There was no safe way to walk the edge of the busy narrow mountain road as cars sped by in poor visibility. I needed shelter. And I found it - this workers wagon up on a hill. Though didn't spend the night in it but under it. The Herzog of 1974 would have forced the lock. But though cramped I was dry whilst rain tumbled down for twelve hours. Walked on this morning and as I dropped down into the valley then sun came out.
