Itinerary description

A hard clockwise circuit of Ponoch with superb views and the option of doing Ponoch summit which will add another hour or so. The start is at the Polop Helipad GPS N 38°36'57" W 0°08'58" where there is ample parking. The start up to the first col is a long, hard and very steep section but worth the effort! The other area which has some very steep sections is nearing the end where you leave the concrete road and go down into a barranco - the climb out has the steep sections but thankfully they come in short bursts! The whole route is on well walked paths and easy to follow.

    Diverse path with amazing scenery! The only moderate part (in cardio load) was on the beginning going up in the woods. Other parts were nice and easy.
