The previous day I have walked from
Salardu via Alós Isil to Bordes de Pina. I tried to find the HRP-trail
climbing from Bordes Pina to the west but couldn't find it. So I
decided to stay for the night and go eastwards the day after. This picture: I camped about here in a night with thunder, rain and hail. This morning: I descend back to the road, walk northwards past de Refuge del Fornets and climb on a wit/red-waymarked path to Port de Salau. Limited views because of clouds/mist. |
 |
It quite a luck, I found bm422, inconspicuous on ground level. |
 |
Bm422, situated about 20-30 m SW of 6 stone pillars. Coördinates: N42 44 22.2 E1 7 50.1 Remarkable: the ruines of a factory built on the pass. There's a king of shelter or refuge built inside. |
 |
I
descend back on the Spanish side. There is trail just beneath the Col
but above a white rockridge which leads NW to a dirtroad which descends
to Ponta de Perosa. I took by misstake a lower trail and had to climb later to reach that dirtroad. |
 |
My terminus for today: ± 500 m before Ponta de Perosa. |
