Itinerary description

A nice loop. Could use the first section as the return route to extend Town Hall route II round El Hacho. From Namir's rock go along the track, then through the wpg and up around the side (parallel with the El Colmenar road).

After a few rough paths you meet a track, go uphill and you are just below the old farm equipment, and then you join the normal "Round El Hacho" track. At the junction where the right fork goes towards the water station, go left and downhill, then immediately right through the woods.

We went down to the left just after this pylon, but we should have stayed on the ridge for longer - this way was too steep and slippery. Next time stay on the ridge until you meet the GR 141
