Yeah it says the start is in Port d'Andratx but was just thinking of starting at St Elm.I've done most of it; better alternates exist. Water is a problem - expect a few heavy carries.
It should be pretty straightforward in 8 days.
Starting at St Elm?
If you have a rough itinerary I can tell you about likely water sources.
Yeah that stretch from st elm to Ses Fontanelles looked a bit dry alright, the map shows a well at la trapa but not holding out much hope.Many fonts are dry.
The Cuber refuge needs a key (or used to) but there is a porch.
There is no reliable water from St Elm until a tap on a building after the road... unless you get lucky at La Trapa.
Oh smashing.Should be fine, I haven’t walked it at that time of year but I have been there cycling plenty times in March. Weather is usually pretty good
I did walk the majority of the route about 20 years ago, but I think that was in September
No idea what the weather will be like, but at that price I'd be tempted to go meself if I wasn't already booked to go back at the end of may.Oh smashing.
Ryan Air are 25quid each way at present!
Yessss. I was going to ask you about that. How many times have you been now? Seems like your always about to go or just come back!I'm there from the 24th....East to West on a slightly higher version....
My flight was about the same
These days the major issue is getting water....
That refugio is a private hut and is locked. I took cover from an almighty rainstorm on its covered terrace. There are good wildcamping pitches nearby.a lake with a refugio on the southern shore,
Yeah was locked, had a bite to eat at the table outside and camped a bit further on by a spring.That refugio is a private hut and is locked. I took cover from an almighty rainstorm on its covered terrace. There are good wildcamping pitches nearby.
do you have a possible list of fonts & springs or is just from memory?Originally I went for climbing....so about 30 years and probably 20 visits....a lot anyway...
And I'm still trying to do the 'pure' high line
That would be great. Thank you.Yep I'll put one together - many marked on the maps are dry - its been a trend over the last decade sadly.
Seven days should be easy enough. Starting at St Elm?
If this is for the 221, the only really dry bit I found was from St Elm to Estellencs.do you have a possible list of fonts & springs or is just from memory?
