Castillion en Couteran

Col de la Core                            17 km

After an early breakfast we hiked back to Les Bordes-sur-Lez. From here instead of following the GR10 we took the parallel road which had little traffic and arrived for an early lunch at Étang de Bethmale. This seemed to be a well visited place. On we went to Col de la Core which is only at 1395m. Sofar it staid warm but we could see that a thunderstorm was moving in. On the way down we found a decent site in a forest and stopped early not to get caught by the weather. And we where right. It got cooler and started raining. There where some cows in the forest. They did not bother us.
