Part of 3 days "bm-backpacking" (out of 6) NE of Andorra, covering bm423-426.
Day 3: from Pla de Boet climbing to Port de Bouet (bm426) and descending into France.
The previous day I walked from Pla de Boavi to Pla de Boet.

Bm426.
It took me a while to recognize what is wrong: the F and 6 are engraved in mirror writing.

In the middle of the pass there's this cairn with the bm at its foot.
|
|
While descending, I see that a refuge-like building is being constructed.
It must be the Cabane de Soucarrane which in 2010 was reported to be a private shepherd's cabin
|
|
The descent to the road takes about 2 hours. |

Then it's almost 1 hour to the barrage of Étang de Soulcem.
Further on - with the help of some intentional thinking - I get a hitchhike to Tarascon
|
|
where I can take the train to Latour-de-Carol to pitch my tent at the camping of Entveig.
