After I hiked up to the Cerna ridge from Cerna-Sat and survived my first three flocks of well-protected sheep, it was time to encounter… the next flock of sheep! It’s Day Three of my traverse of the Cerna ridge, and I wake up to very strong winds, and an equally strong awareness that I need to get going fast so as to beat ‘the flock with the bad shepherds and evil dogs’ to it. I’ve been warned against those by the previous shepherds, and I’m a little bit concerned. By ‘beating them to it’ I mean passing them before they get to the ridge; they will have to climb up from the valley several hundreds of metres below me, so I have an advantage. If I get going on time, that is.
