11 march 2011
I received more information of Charles & Josette Darrieu. Charles is too lazy - he wrote jokingly- to build his own website and is flattered when I use information and pictures of theirs for my website. I'm grateful for this generosity because this couple has collected a treasury of data on the esfr-bordermarkers.
In this update:
- information is added (see the corresponding "all markers"-pages) on bm001-002, bm007, bm036, bm044, bm076, bm089, bm122bis, bm157, bm235-236, bm330, bm359, bm408 I-IV, bm409 1-7, bm417, 420bis, bm421 and bm602
- I re-edited the "all markers" pages, limiting the bm-pictures to one for each trip-day and referring for additional pictures to the "all trips"-pages.
- added information on the history-page
- added information on the curiosities-page on bm420bis
- renamed the literature-page in bibliography and splitted it in a treaties- and literature-page.
- added a new page: about the maintenance of the bordermarkers
- added a new page: about myself.
- made minor changes on many other pages.

16 january 2011
Thanks to an elaborate email of Charles & Josette Darrieu - great searchers of the esfr-bordermarkers - I could add information on a lot of pages.  There are 11 bordermarkers more on the esfr-border than I thought
See
- the 'all marker'-pages concerning: bm044-submarkers, bm086, bm087, bm089, bm157, bm196,bm236, bm251, bm255, bm271bis, bm297, bm359, bm364, bm367, bm408-I to bm408-IV, bm409-1 to bm409-7, bm415, bm416, bm422bis, bm471, bm510, bm534, bm535, bm574bis
- the curiosities-page: how many bordermarkers are there?
- the literature-page: added a 'La Depeche'-article on Jean-Paul Laborie
- the literature-page: added two spanish books (of MARTÍNEZ RUIZ and VIGOR & SANZ)
- the to-do-page: added 11 bordermarkers still to do and other information

27 december 2010
Added the trips of 25 august - 13 september covering bm250 - bm256, bm261 - 270, bm314 - bm366 and bm411 - bm416. See the corresponding 'all trips'- and 'all markers'-pages for more information.
Added a french and spanish page with translation-tips. Also an explanation how to print the webpages.
Added a map of the Pyrenees (on the "All markers - intro"-page and the To-do-page) with the remaining bordermarkers.
Besides this: a lot of minor changes.

29 october 2010
Minor update to change the link to Martial Garcia's website, adjust the one to Alain Laridon's website and add one bordermarker (567bis) to the total amount of esfr-bordermarkers.

16 august 2010
Added the trips of 9-12 july 2010 to Nuria, Cerdagne and the Albčres. A lot of remake-pictures but primarily meant to find bm435 to 437I, bm508-510 and the Llivia-markers 24, 26 & 27.  See the corresponding 'all markers'-pages for more information.

22 june 2010
Added a link to Paco Nudel's website on the links-page. His picture of bm408 is a surprise implying that 'my' own bm408 is a submarker (408 I).  Also very content to receive pictures of Alain Laridon of bm602. See the corresponding 'all markers'-pages for more information.
Besides this a lot of minor adjustments.
