Itinerary description

The route follows Gaucin Town Hall Route II for the most part, but has an extra section, shown to me by Roger Collinson, which takes you through shady woods instead of climbing up over the grassy saddle.

The final section of this walk goes along the main road (there's a "paseo" on one side) and the Wikiloc track doesn't seem to have recorded properly (it just shows a straight line...), but when you reach the main road, just turn left and in 15 -20 minutes you will return to the petrol station where you started the walk.
