Hello guys, This weekend we decided to do the stage 2 of a long track that we found in wikiloc. It's called the Eight Kingdoms Route because it goes through 8 areas: some are countries and some are Autonomous Communities. The Eight Kingdoms are:
1. ANDORRA 2. CATALUNYA 3. ARAGÓN 4. NAVARRA 5. FRANCE 6. BASQUE COUNTRY 7. CANTABRIA 8. ASTURIAS. The wikiloc link of this stage is: https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-4x4/ruta.... There is a long piece of tarmac before it really starts the 4x4 track in this route, so what we did is: we recorded the track right from the place where 4x4 starts, which is on the fantastic valley where the video starts, where you can visit the waterfall called "Sauth den Pish" (it means "The Fall of the Pee" in the local dialect of the Vall d'Aran (aranès). The coordinates are: 42º46'37.6''N Oº50'00.6''E. There is a little lake which looks like a wide river, it's the Lake of Varradòs. The track we recorded follows this stage but at some point (as we very often do) we decided to leave it and explore a trail that climbed up and up: This trail goes to the Montoliu Lake (Estanh de Montoliu) and also to the Pica Palomera Lake (Estanh de Pica Palomera). If you want to go to Montoliu Lake you will have to leave the car in the trail and walk for 1 hour and 20 minutes. If you want to go to the Pica Palomera Lake, at some point you will also have to park the car in the trail because there is a chain or barrier that blocks the dirt road. After exploring this trail we went back donw and continued following the original track of the Eight Kingdoms Route, stage 2. This stage is a spectacular track that crosses the Valley of Aran, goes past the ski station Baqueira Beret and finally enters the Montgarri Forest. It's full of rivers and creeks all the way. The branch off that we explored is a must if you like wild desolate trails. It's not difficult in terms of 4x4. Here is the wikiloc link of the track we recorded including the amazing and beautiful alternative branch: .......https://www.wikiloc.com/offroading-tr... Images filmed in September 2020.
