Tom de Dorlodot (BEL) spent last night in a refuge that he knew from previous X-Alps. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed by the time he arrived, so last night’s dinner was some bread and cheese he had with him. He’s looking forward to some decent food at the end of the race, but he’s in a good position on a south-east facing ridge to the west of lake Como. He says conditions are looking good. “Still a bit of north wind, but it’s looking really nice”. He is hoping to finish his race flying. “That would be really nice”.
