I’ve got a point to make. On the way down, after passing a large house on the right, you need to turn left and not take the path straight ahead. There’s a small ‘X’ carved into a tree – you need to watch out for it.

Hello
Actually, I was mistaken – it isn’t the mulberry tree, which was indeed
but rather the Combe de la Gouderie route and the Plateau du Peuil.

The message is as follows

Unable to open C:\Downloads\30_combe_de_la_gouderie.gpx

Same goes for the Plateau du Peuil

Hello, I’ve downloaded the GPS track for Le Murier as a GPX file, but I can’t open it in Carto Explorer or Google Earth – I get an error message when I try to import it, and this isn’t the only file that’s causing me problems
on your website – a problem I don’t encounter on TraceGPS.
Do you have a solution?
That said, I find your website very interesting.

Kind regards
