From Velensole it was downhill towards Manosque. Lots of forest but impossible to access on the steep slopes on both sides of the road. Getting close to town and bad weather approaching, I decided to camp even though it meant carrying the luggage some hundred metres down the slope through thorn bushes - luckily no flats. I got the tent up just in time for a thunderstorm with torrential rain - an hour later it had passed and I could make dinner....
