Cold, violent wind and very muddy, but nice course

The La Clape mountains are ideal: the climbs are not too long and not too steep, coarse gravel, flowing trails. There are a number of signposted tours. This is No6, the second part without the peninsula. Very windy today

It's a black one. Unstabilized ground boulders tight traces of the drop some technical passages caution! Last km without interest Don't forget the water and the necessary repair

Good course, a little technical in the singles, but very fun, it's La Clape, it's stony 😊, the start was in the parking lot of the Phoebus casino in Gruissan, well sheltered from the wind which blows very strongly at this time

Participants: Roger, Régis, Frédéric, Franck, and Patrick.

As I was away, I suggested this route so that participants would be as sheltered as possible from a strong tramontane wind. …
