#4 in the Barcelona to Berlin 2016 throwback series.

We're up in the far northern reaches of Italy now, and the aim is to cross over into Switzerland and reach the village of Andeer by nightfall, using a mixture of hiking and hitchhiking. BUT, to make things slightly trickier, today was the day I'd chosen to live off the land. But the day ended up being so much more than about the crippling hunger. There were petrifying paths, three of the fastest hitchhikes I've ever gotten including a near death experience (but surprisingly not with the drunken old man who drove me down a huge mountain) a stint where I thought I was Bear Grylls, and a pretty scary night's sleep to cap it off. I even almost killed a rare alpine mammal with a rock... but did I successfully complete the challenge?
