| An obvious path

|
| but 'blocked' for an unknown reason by this ribbon. Never mind, just step over it.

| The trail climbs,

|
| Zoom-in: red-white cross, still the trail continues in about that direction parallel to the river.

|
| But this is the spot where you have to turn left to descend SW to bm001.
Note the rock.

(click photo to enlarge)

| Bm001, a bit difficult to photograph the number without falling off the ridge into the river.

|
| Bm001, last picture.
I return the same way, back to the road. This trip hence and forth to bm001 took me ± 1 hour.

| Bm001
(click photo to enlarge)
|
| This is a cycle track from Irùn along the river, in the background the old bridge.
This is in fact an alternative route from Hendaye / Irùn towards bmoo1.
From bm001 one might climb directly along the hillside to bm002. A steep climb of about 300m elevation.

| The cycle track is part of a much longer cycle track
(click photo to enlarge)
|
| on a former railway line.
