Summary:
part of a 3-weeks trip to the Pyrénées to 'do' the ± 60
remaining bordermarkers. All done as daytrips from campings.
Day 4: on a rainy transit-day from St-Etienne-de-Baigorry to Urdos, I visit Col de
Somport.
Weather: rainy

It rains to hard to do some ‘new’ bordermarkers.
But bm305 and bm305bis are on the very Col itself and that’s an easy
remake.

Bm305bis, zooming in to bm306 with that building nearby.
|
|
The building is useful in locating bm306.
Then - also easy - a short drive to the Candanchu ski-station to see what
business is still open and to spot any GR11-way-marks (in vain).
|
|
And then finishing with a bumpy drive to the other side: the Astun ski resort to see if
there’s any indication where the trail starts to Col des moines.
There’s none. I spot however the likely beginning (behind the
last building on the upper row of buildings, at the east-side of a
stream). That is confirmed by Ton Joosten in his HRP-guide.

The camping in Urdos, my basecamp for the next 9 days.
