Cumulative | Distance | Where | Notes | Direction | Elevation | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0km | 0km | La Napoule | N | 0° | 39.6m | |
0.7km | 0.7km | Port de la Rague | better to go down and under the main road | SW | 221° | 12.2m |
1.1km | 0.4km | Go up at the signed point | ENE | 54° | 13.6m | |
1.2km | 0.1km | zigzag back ignoring the "chateau sign". If you'd come up earlier you would be on that path | WNW | 292° | 31.9m | |
2.6km | 1.3km | take the left hand fork to go up on the ridge. The RH fork will get you to the same place but it is more windy - but IIRC is also shadier | WNW | 291° | 101.1m | |
3.3km | 0.8km | Maure Vieil | The track left is a dead end. Right takes you to the road and a tarmac descent. The path left/straight on is probably more pleasant that the road | NW | 295° | 151.1m |
3.8km | 0.5km | You can if you go left here and up into the Mimosas for a bit. Turn right at the obvious point after c.500m to rejoin the main path | WNW | 275° | 91.5m | |
4.2km | 0.4km | Turn left off the tarmac | SSE | 149° | 57.8m | |
4.7km | 0.5km | Can turn right and take the path across the Pont Sarazin here. Its a good deal further and takes you up Mpnt St Martin and the Oeufs de Bouc | S | 167° | 67.4m | |
6.9km | 2.2km | Col de la Cadière | If you want to extend the outing there are lots of alternatives here. | ESE | 105° | 241.9m |
8.4km | 1.6km | Keep straight on unless you want to add some more distance | E | 81° | 266.4m | |
8.9km | 0.5km | Bear right and up hill on the wide track | NE | 41° | 245.3m | |
10.3km | 1.4km | Bear right following the "Piste de Californie" sign (note the GPS lyingly says we went a bit off course - we stayed on the path) | NNE | 10° | 200.6m | |
11.2km | 0.9km | Enjoy the view and bear left on the path under the electricity cables | NNW | 355° | 230.4m | |
11.3km | 0.2km | As a general rule from this point head downhill | NNE | 20° | 251.5m | |
11.6km | 0.3km | don't go directly to the road. Its a steep drop. Path bears left and joins the road at the hairpin bend | WNW | 277° | 204.9m | |
11.7km | 0.1km | Theoule | E | 88° | 192.9m | |
12.4km | 0.7km | Its actually shorer to bear right at the junction but it gets you to the same place so it doesn't really matter | ENE | 59° | 138.1m | |
13.1km | 0.7km | The left dead ends, as we discoivered | NE | 43° | 86.2m | |
14.4km | 1.3km | Note the short cut down the steps on the right | NE | 38° | 54.9m | |
15km | 0.6km | La Napoule | Option to turn right here cross over the railway on the footbridge to go down to the beach and along there instead | ENE | 64° | 27.1m |
15.2km | 0.2km | Instead of going down to the Port de la Rague you should be able to go up the road here and get on a path. | NNE | 21° | 31.9m | |
15.6km | 0.4km | N | 0° | 32.3m |
