Car park on Route de Blaunac.
(S/E) From the houses, continue along the road, heading due west. At the stone bridge on the left, take the path climbing up to the right, then cross the small wooden bridge on the left. Follow the signs for Le Vernet. You’ll come to an information panel about the Rocles crosses and the sandstone Croix du Coulet.
(1) Take the path climbing up to the right and arrive at the hamlet of Le Vernet.
(2) Turn onto the path leading uphill through the hamlet, then turn right, passing between the properties; you may spot some cows. You’ll reach a crossroads, next to a track.
(3) Cross it to take the path climbing towards Le Pissas, soon joining an old track running alongside a low wall.
(4) Reach Le Pissas, veer right towards the high point, and pass several cairns before beginning a gentle descent. Reach another junction.
(5) Take the signposted path on the left, heading due south: a winding path with dangerous sections.
Follow the markings and stay alert as some sections are dangerous: climb and descend using your hands; don’t hesitate to put one or both poles away. The section runs along somewhat steep cliffs, but adventurers will love it.
(6) After the small stream (dry when I passed), at the fork, take the small path that climbs to the left, until you reach a junction.
(7) When you reach the signpost, which features the trail’s permanent markings, turn right.
(8) Continue down through the forest to the next signpost, then keep slightly to the left. Join the track.
(9) Follow it to the left, passing cistern number 28.
Continue along the track to the junction of the circular track, which you passed on the way out.
(3) Turn right and follow the route back in the opposite direction to reach the car park (S/E)..
