The Circuit of La Gleizo.

This is my amazing walk from earlier this week. The Circuit of La Gleizo. 
3H. 6.4km. (grade D). 490m of assent. It's not a practically long walk but there are lots of rocky areas, scree slopes and it's not always easy to follow the markers so be very careful. If you can't see on of the markers back track to where you last saw one as you don't want to lose the trail up there. The route starts in Mons. Park near the church, turn right and go up through the first small road following the red/yellow markers until they turn off left between two houses. Continue on until you come to some green wire fencing. Keep to the left of it and past the wooden gate which will be on your right. The small path leads up through pine and chestnut wooded terraces (follow red dotted/line markers) until you come to two small ruins. Go between these and keep following the markers up the side of the gorge. It will often be difficult to see them. There are wonderful views here of the valley. Continue on until you come to an old mine on a scree slope go over this and continue to the first col.(here you will find a signpost, where you can go to the right to look at a view from the rocks). The path goes on up and over to more scree slopes and through wooded slopes until you finally come to another col. Go around the large pine trees to the left.(these trees mark the point that you turn if you are doing this walk in reverse).You will find another signpost here. Keep going up the slope and it will get more difficult as you get onto the scree slope proper (there has been quite a bit of rock movement here in the storms so be careful).Finally you arrive at the col de Roujas. At this point the markers change to yellow. There are fantastic views to the north and the south here, enjoy. Now turn right and you will soon come another view point. This time over the ravine and down into the Jaur valley. Keep following the yellow markers through the chestnut woods, the will be views on your right soon of the Roc de La Gleyzo. Keep going down through the woods until it joins the ravine path. Turn left onto this and follow the yellow/red markers back to Mons.(there are lots of other coloured markers on this path but don't worry about them. Just before you get into Mons you will have more great views to the west and the south. It's a fantastic walk this one, but keep safe, watch your trail, be careful of mossy rocks in the woods and stones moving on the loose slopes.
