Description of the walk

Some information:

(S/E) Departure from Anse la Roche beach (accessible by boat). The path is a little difficult to find (marked with red markings). Although the path was made after Béryl, there are still many fallen tree trunks in places. This path was only found on the way back.

(1) Pass between two vertical metal tubes.

(2) Take the path on the right that runs alongside a property. There is a cow on the path.

(3) Take a larger path on the right. Intersection with a larger path towards Bogles (very well marked). The path to Bogles is passable for a pick-up truck. No parking available on the road.

(4) Take the small path that climbs directly to the left towards the summit (red turtle symbol marking the path throughout).

(5) During the climb to the summit, there is a possible detour to a viewpoint overlooking the south of the island. Tree trunks littered the road. Progress through the bushes was difficult.

(7) Summit. Stay on the main path the whole way. The old path has half disappeared (fallen tree trunks). Another path has since been cleared.

(E) The return journey is via the same path.

Notes

You can start from Bogles. The path is a wide track, so there is no doubt about which way to go.

If starting from Anse la Roche, take the path (marked with red markings). It is to the left of a small white sign planted at the foot of a tree on the edge of the beach. You have to bend down to pass under the foliage of a low tree.

Wear trousers and sun protection. The paths are not well maintained, even though we are past Béryl.

Bring a bin bag to keep your rubbish with you.

Worth a visit

At the summit: Petit Saint Vincent, Petite Martinique, Petite Dominique and the south of Carriacou Island.

Land turtles and iguanas can be found along the way.
