|S| A walking stick to divert lightning


Just before finishing analyzing the last plot, dark gray skies threaten us. Thunder, lightning and some heavy rain seem to come our way. Jasmijn suggest to already set up the tents, so we (and our material) can be dry and save when the sky breaks open. Good idea! We set up the tents and wonder what the odds are we would get fried by lightning at this altitude. There are no trees, and we are quiet high... Arsena gives us some great advice: just put your hiking sticks on some higher grounds in the neighbourhood. As they are metal they will attract and derive the lightning so we can sleep on both ears. Phew!
