Prudence

In the mountains, temperature differences can be significant between day and night. Remember to bring business hot if you drive in mid-season and check the weather before you start.
If you drive at night, be extremely careful on the descents. The clumps are full of game. Many animals may be on the road or crossing your approach. You will not win a lot of time trying to go fast. Better to go down slowly and surely.
We strongly advise hikers to take Route Crest Night (Gorges du Verdon), because the descent into the shelter of the Maline, blind, is very dangerous. Take
a survival blanket, it does not carry much weight, it is not bulky and it will protect you if the need for sleep becomes. Take
also a mobile phone, especially if you ride alone.
If you leave, tell the organizer.


control photo

Warning, if you drive at night, make sure your camera has a flash. Remember to set the time clock device, and starting with fresh batteries or a battery charge. Remember also to protect it from a plastic bag in case of bad weather.
Remember that a photo will be asked per participant. Even if you plan to ride in groups, be aware that the nature of the terrain helping, you may be asked to separate you. A photo missing results in the non-approval (unless, of course, it is replaced by a stamp in the locations identified in the roadmap). It is strongly recommended to have its own device itself.


Hiker Category: roadmap

The hour of departure is the participant's choice, so the road map does not specify any timetable for opening or closing the intermediate inspections. However, We urge participants in category "Hiker" to prepare a road map calculated from the departure time they have chosen on the basis of 12 km / h required to complete in fifty hours. These instructions will serve them throughout their progression.
Please contact the organizer if you want help to prepare such a plan.

Category: effort management

We recommend that you do not leave too much energy in the first part of the hike, especially around the Gorges du Verdon, which represents a serious difficulty. Forces to keep the suite and do not try to save time.
There will be other times to catch up:
between Moustiers and Thoard,
on both sides of the Montagne de Lure,
and towards the end, on the section Sault Prayer, which is very fast.
