An afternoon trip from our camping 'La Griola' near Targasonne. Main target: the double 31-34 Llivia-markers which in recent years have been replaced by brand new ones. Lying more or less on our route, we revisit LL26. (for a short while along the tarmac road, then into a field, climbing a fence, then to the right and spotting LL26 at your right hand behind the fence). |

LL26 with me, its location becoming clear behind the fence. It's early spring here - few leaves, little undergrowth - and this is a perfect time to search and photograph bordermarkers. (photo by Jan-Willem) We head directly through the fields to |

LL27,
I have climbed upon the boulder and applied chalk. |

Then to LL28 |

Between trees and shrubbery: LL29. |

On our way to LL30, using a shortcut to avoid the tarmac-road lacet. |
 |
LL30 was a difficult find on 20050928 |
 |
but now - with my gps and memory - an easy find. |

On our way to the double 31-34 bordermarkers, these impressive boulders. We follow the the stream on the Llivian-side, later a bit higher on the hill slope, in the end descending on a gentle slope back to the stream. |
 |
LL31 to 34 cannot be missed on either side of the stream. Both LL31-markers seen from Llivia |

We continue to LL35 |

We make a final detour to revisit LL25 |

LL25 again and descend steeply |
