@TokeBoat Hi, Trail is very well marked by red/white strip markers along the way, together with signposts at most junctions. Country not severe or technically difficult, but steep descent to Bidarray - not good in wet weather. Poss to go down valley as we did. Most sections are 6/7 hours of walking, apart from Crete d'Iparla - whole traverse from Bidarray to St Etienne would take about ten hours or so; suggest you drop off, as we did, at Col d'Harrieta and go to Urdos. Best wishes, Enjoy!

@TokeBoat just keep your eyes peeled for the red and white stripes they can be found on rocks on trees on poles just about anywhere, don't follow the red and white x we started walking about 6/7 am and got to our next destination about 6 hours later, happy journey...
