[QUOTE="AshIreGal, post: 734303, member: 38250"] Hi Laurie.. Yes, without gps routes I would have have had alot of trouble. My photo files are too large to upload it seems, but I have taken photos at all the tricky spots. So I left at Sant Esteve d'Bas alberge.. and all the signs want you to go the Via Verde to the right. I followed GPS to the left onto the route. Went through lovely els hostalets d'en bas...all good. Lovely shop and cafe across from church. Found turn up to right eventually to Cami rad (Vic route). At this point there were 8 tourist hikers also stuck in wikiloc looking for where they wanted to go. Too many routes and signs that everyone seems confused. All was good on the Rocky road route up to the fountain.. at which point, 2 Spanish tourists (lost I imagine), climbed up over the edge of the side of road, clawing onto tree branches etc.. they had followed wikiloc, as crow flies to this holy fuente... Then I arrived finally to open park and field area at the top of hill, and as really breezy descended down the path and came out at the entrance to L'Hostalot. Nice bench so had my lunch, and set off on road following arrow for maybe 500m. At which point there was a sign post with lots of routes... One route which I took to be the Vic Cami pointed in through the gates of what looked like a farm... But there were yellow arrows pointing go straight ahead..so I did.. main road lead downhill, and was a route for lots of cyclists.. I took phone out and noticed GPS route was completely different ...so I backtracked to that sign with multiple routes... I followed through the 'gate'... And kept going crossing a second gate the was one of the Cami signs. After that no more arrows till I arrived out the other side a few hours later at cliffs of aiats / coma Joan. There was a yellow X at one stage, but all traces of yellow arrows seemed to be removed. Even on the trees. Towards the end of route there were red white signs... And looking back, as I finally exited the way, there is a BIG yellow arrow pointing into the path for this ridge. There was a local couple camping at the open space under cliffs. They pointed me down the road and then to go to rupkit and then to l'esquirol. Thankfully, I didn't follow blindly, as I would have missed the sign post with 3 ways to get to VIC Cami.. the GPS route was the only was to know that I should leave road and follow small path into the right. Before Bescara, I followed yellow paint signs and off the GPS track and they left into a wood with a road to start with and numbered signs. Then the forest had multiple roads and no signs. The ordance survey maps I had downloaded helped me eventually to get out the other side... But my lesson learnt was not to follow the catalunya signs blindly. I may bail yet Laurie.. but when it is good it is great ... If I didn't have to worry about signs and sleeping, the scenery is amazing, and people are friendly. [/QUOTE]
