Trip-summary
Part of a 8-days hike around the two
tripoints of Andorra and
neighbouring bordermarkers. Starting in Arinsal and finishing in
Puigcerda with in between public transport from Auzat
to Porte Puymorens.
On this day I walked from Pla de Bouet to the Gîte d'Étappe
in Mounicou. On the Port de Bouet I found bm426.
I passed this Col also on 18 august 2001 when I
expected a borderstone, not a cross.
And again at 26 august 2007
Walking: 7½ hours.
Ascending: ± 600 meters. Descending: ± 1400 meters.

Port de Bouet
At the
pass looking back into Spain.
It took me 2 hours (8.30-10.30) to climb to this pass.
Searching for the bordercross took me quite a while. But it
happened to be on the most probable spot: the rock and cairn
in the middle of the pass.

It took me long to
discover what is wron with this number. The 6 and the F are carved in
mirror.

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