A short visit to Chorges, then to Lac de Selle-Porcon. crossing a peninsula. Finding our way was a bit troublesome, but it turned out just getting down a gulli.Next, following a path that had become very, very muddy, and get along an flooded trench - it had rained a lot in the past weeks and the water of the lake was much higher than normal.

3438ET * The intended route drawn on IGN map 3438ET. The blue line is what we actually walked, the cyan line what would be an alternative, or what we anticipated. But the track down from Les Curates was so muddy, and the route up Les Vergeter Oriental was told to be as bad, that we took an alternative route through the woods. * 2044 x 2000 * (1.18MB)
