It was at the entrance sign to the village and fitted exactly with the books description in the course it took-it was also just a couple of hundred yards up the road from the entrance to Erjos ponds. I could see the rain gauge and traditional viewpoint at 4.5 km from where I looked. There was a large visible "pond" way beyond the laurel forest near the coast and I guess this is the desalination plant. The track certainly seems to have been improved from old trip reports and I see Edward noted this on his trip report earlier this year-it might mean access is now a problem during the working week- certainly there were signs both at the entrance and at the point where the laurel forest begins prohibiting access</blockquote>
