From Pla de Boet in 1˝ hours to Port de Bouet, seen on this picture from distance. |

Bm426. It took me a while to recognize what is wrong: the F and 6 are engraved in mirror writing. Coordinates: N42 37 06.6 E1 25 41.7 H2513m (on my watch 2475m) |
 |
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. |
