Le massif du Canigou dans les Pyrénées n'est pas loin de cette vallée du Tet, ici en Avril la neige et encore présente à 2 784 m.
The Canigou massif in the Pyrenees is not far from this Tet valley, here in April the snow and still present at 2,784 m.
Dolmen N°1 de Lluçanès- known locally as "La Barraca". The prehistorien Bruno Marc comments that this means that it was used locally as a temporary shelter. Also known as 'Dolmen del Mas Lluçanès I'
The Pyrenees fades into the Mediterranean with a series of rippling hills all looking up to the last singularity of high mountain - the Canigou. More a massif than a single peak, it is a floating white presence with just under 3,000m in proximity with a sea level measure. Several dolmens were positioned with views over the serine drama.
Normally extra letters are added to afford a sense of speeed : the Dutch spelling of this mountain range is one of the only words I have seen with three 'e's in a static row : Pyreneeën.
Earlier in the day I had climbed Pic Canigou which entailed 6,500 feet of vertical ascent. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day that I had spent on my own on account of Mark having picked up a bug. He stayed much lower down in a decent hotel, however my home for the night was Refuge des Cortelets which was just a few hundred yards from this spot. After sharing a beer and evening meal with the refuge full of French and Spaniards I chose to take an amble to catch the last of the sun. Of course I returned for another beer with my new found climbing pals.
Barely 9am and already the summit of the Pic du Canigou, at 2785m/9137ft, the highest peak in the eastern Pyrenees and a mountain sacred to Catalans, was inundated with folk.
This group seemed oblivious to the fact that there were other people around, and I seem to remember thinking "Is every single one of the 18 going to take a photo of the other 17 with the summit cross and Catalan flag?!"
The "Billy No Mates" sitting to the side is me & I was shivering even though in full sun! Thankfully the walk out would prove delightfully warm.
Le pic du Canigou (catalan : Pica del Canigó) est le haut sommet le plus oriental des Pyrénées, culminant à 2 785 mètres d'altitude. Il fait partie du massif du Canigou, dont il est le point culminant, et il est situé dans le Conflent, dans le département français des Pyrénées-Orientales.

Yours truly as captured by my son, just getting to easier ground. Thank goodness my knees were ok back then 😄😄

Dans mon Pays Catalan, vous pouvez parfaitement, dans la même journée, faire du ski puis redescendre et prendre un bain de mer !...
Ceci est dans l'absolu car souvent, le Canigou est enneigé en hiver et dont il fait froid pour se baigner. Mais je veux souligner ici les richesses de ma belle région. Et puis c'est amusant de voir sur une même photo les cîmes enneigées et des palmiers !
This is a shot from the summit of Pico de Canigou looking across at a french climber who has made his way part way across the final approach ridge. Just ten minutes earlier I had gingerly made my way over those pinnacles.
