 | A bit climbing and then I arrive where bm076 stood (where my walking stick stands). (click photo to enlarge) |
 | The disappearance of bm076 was reported in july 2021 by Michel Molia (see this post) Bordermarkers do disappear or are destroyed on some occasions but in the case of bm076 (and bm075), this is not the first time. At least 5 or 6 earlier versions of bm075 and bm076 have been thrown into the valley or have been demolished. See this webpage for more information. (click photo to enlarge) |

 | After this bordermarker-check, I drive to Camping Les Vaugeons in Écommo. (click photo to enlarge) |

Let's show it on the map. Camping Vaugeons in Ëcommay is the in-between camping (and a cheap and simple one) to the low countries. The next day (sunday 8/9) is a transfer to the camping in Eede in the SW of the Netherlands. After a few bm-visits over there, I drive to home sweet home in Eindhoven on monday 9/9. |
