Face to train for San Sebastian Behobia the next November 14, in addition to jogging, then working to get strength and other muscles of the legs we came Gorka and I do Martxa of Zeanuri hermitages. There were three rounds, one short of 18km, a 28km and a median length of 36km. We decided on the medium (not had to spend) and we did it in 5 short hours, come on, we were light ...;) (mean moving from 5.7 km / h and a trot down kotxinero enjoying it ...)
made no top, and hermitages and provisioning, with a tight ass because Gorka did not want to stop too ... Come on, it very nearly had to pull the photos on the move ...

2010_08_25 Pic du Canigou.Circular from Ref Cortalets (France)
To listen:
excursion to one of the peaks, which despite being in French territory, is mythic in Catalonia, the Canigó. Taking advantage Mataro was visiting family policies, building one day to climb to Vernet-les-Bains and from there to 4x4 Cortalets shelter to make a run at Canigo.
He could have gone up by private car to the shelter, but were asking about you on forums and they said no problems, other than if you had a 4x4 well, but if not, they would not do ... well, that a complete indecision . So in the end, go to make that gamble and got on "Taxi." For 25 euros take you and bring you from Vernet-les-Bains ... The catch?? Besides price, you can touch up with families, and the driver stops to see marmots, to sightsee, to pick raspberries ... Come on, that's fine, but not what he had come .... And then I made the turn, going muuuuuuuuuuy calm, in 3 ½ hours ... If I hurry, can be extended to 4 hours ... Of course, if the taxi will leave at 10am (having left an hour and a half before Vernet) and tells you to pick you up at 15:30 ... you do that hour and a half-two hours you get hung in the shelter?? Na Well, eat something (which was what I did) or puff a cane ... In short, for three hours of mountain, I spend all day excursion ... By the way, if you take a photo radar in France, the fine you get here? "? Is that you cross the border and a drop in the highway, I was going to 120km / h limit was 110km/hy I think I saw a flash ... and it was to see if I get the recipe or not ..

with photos We are 5:30 in the morning ... Mataro still asleep, but I turn up early poruqe Vernet according to Google Maps I have two hours of car ...
was left at 8:30 in Vernet, on the Garage Villaceque (is there any other taxi company in town, just look online), and as he had reached the 8 and little me had time to take a coffee with milk and an authentic French croissant;). Well, here is our taxi at one of the stops we made.
other taxis standing here ... (One came out near the campground Fillols)
That fund, if my calculations do not fail should be .... the Carlit? The truth is that I do not know ... of the geography of this part of the Pyrenees I'm a little fish ..
We are in the bush on safari in Kenya??
we head into the shelter ... right next to the hut could be seen marmots, and obviamene, so we stopped ...
And finally, after an hour and a half we arrived Cortalets Refuge. Shelter piece! I do not ever fill it ...
photo information panel, to see where we are and the path that we do
and started walking. The whole route is well marked and has lost
For there you upload the track, 23 km (easy to say ...), from the balance, which is where cars go up because Vernet-Fillols is reserved for taxis 4x4 We
to Barbet, we'll do a circular ridge
clear road, spectacular day ... what else can we ask?
The Canigo already beginning to appear
A little closer ...
And here is perfectly crest to go ... This is an excursion in winter, snow must be very nice
This is what we have come
And what we have
Although it seems that there are many Zetas climbs very easy and very comfortable
seems that there are people at the top of Canigo
Crest Barbet, go across the ridge to the Canigo must have its one ...
If Snapshot = If Cima. Pic Barbet du
But the route does not follow the crest but deviates to the other side and go through the hill Valmanya
Now we have to move in this quarry down to the Durie and chimney gap
Here you can see the fire and people on top. As I said, the road is well marked
The nearest fireplace
If Snapshot = If I was there ...;) entering Close in the fireplace look back at Valmanya hill and the road that goes from Marialles
Well, on to the chimney (simple and very good grips, come on, that does not pass grade I)
look back
This is perhaps the most difficult stretch, but no problems if one is accustomed to walk through the woods ..
the background peak Barbet
And just before leaving the chimney ... more impressive picture of what is actually then
If Snapshot = If Cima. Pic du Canigou (2784m)
Some people if they had ...
That down there is Vernet
orientation table at the top
And from the top, way up from Marialles
After 20 minutes on top, and a tad overwhelmed by the people who had (and it was a Wednesday, do not want to imagine the pilgrimage on weekends), we started going down the path "normal"
look back
The road is clear, no?? How to lose
Fontaine de la Perdrix (sadly dry)
And what he said, that the path is well marked. GR marks correspond to the GR10, and if we followed would lead us to retreat Marialles
God! This is Agerre mountaineers! You see how many clothes you do not need technique to go to the mountains?? Not to take or not take bottle! And that was one pm
the way down and there we have the ridge opposite Barbet
Le estagnol and circus background Canigo glacier, to the left and the Barbet Canigo right the
And back to the shelter. If Snapshot = If I was there
Come va ... I'm going to sacrifice ... That if it was cheap ... (15 euritos) But it will be for pasta .. I go by taxi, lunch plate ... ;)
nap to wait the taxi and back down ... The truth is that some of the points that we were not to take them as a joke ... (and to bump into another car at that point)
Reaching Vernet, take the car and from Mataro (including withholding on the AP7 by accident), but before a couple of pictures of Vernet to the bottom Canigo
