Trip-summary
Part of a 8-days hike from l'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre to
Aulais-les-Bains, right through Andorra. In this way I linked two
GR10-stopovers in a southern variant, enabling me to explore the
tripoints of Andorra.
On this day I started from Pla de Bouet,
crossed the Port the Bouet - looking in vain for bm426 - and continued
in a long descent to Mounicou.
Walking: 7 hours. Ascending: ± 600 meters. Descending: ± 1400 meters.

Down below is the Pla deBouet where I started. I'm heading for the Port de Bouet.

Port de Bouet
At the pass looking into France. The map shows bordermarker 426 at this pass but I could't find the borderstone.
I didn't yet know that there are also bordercrosses in the Pyrenees: a cross and number engraved in a rock.

Pic de Medecourbe
After a steep descent I reached the valley-floor. The Pic de Medecourbe with his gentle curve is well visible from the north..
