Trip-summary Part of a five-day trip from the Mediterranean sea to Le Perthus and a bit further. Day 5: from close to bm564 to bm560 and returning to Le Perthus. Start 7.45, stop 14.30, walking: 6½ hours. Climbing: ± 200, descending ± 500 meters. Weather: clear sky, still a strong wind (tramonta?), cold in the morning. |
 |
An early start, I have to catch the bus in the afternoon and want to find some more bordermarkers. Bm563 |
 |
Just
before the Coll de Postels I enter a road/trail in the direction
of the border. A bit further is an open space with a little barn in a
corner and a dirt road going to the right. At that spot is bm562 That dirt road becomes a narrow and muddy trail and merges back into the GR10. |
 |
Further on, just beyond the farm ("Attention au chien"), is a water reservoir. From there a path - becoming more clear higher up - climbs to the south, becoming more flat and grassy after 5 à 10 minutes. Down a path to the left I suddenly see: bm561 Going back and following a stream I return at the road. The stream flows over the road to the other side. This stream and the western path along it, seems a better and more obvious access to bm561. |
 |
Continuing
along the road (GR10) I reach a sideroad which leads uphill to a sort
of waterreservoir. Further on it becomes a forest road and
arrives at this field. At the SW-corner of it I find bm560 |
 |
Meanwhile it's 10.15 and I walk back to Le Perthus. I'm surprised to read on this signboard that in this area nudism is allowed (if I understood it well). |
 |
I try again to find bm566 but without success. On this picture: the snow-capped Canigou-mountain far away. |
 |
And I'm perfectly on time in Le Perthus for the 3 pm bus to Figueres and from there the train to Girona. This picture: a view on Girona, a very pretty town. |
