Mt Ventoux

As I came down from Montelimar I could see her baron moonscape away in the distance. Approaching Bedoin I was ever aware of the great peak that dominated all around it....I could sense the Ventoux new what was arriving tommorrow - and the great mountain was preparing to defend her slopes with all her at her disposal.....I set up camp with 50000 others at the foot of of the beast - its mythical slopes would bring darkness early tonight. I slept uneasily..........
