CSJ Guides to the Routes through France #4(ii):
Toulouse to Puente la Reina 2007. 2008 update.
Dangerous stretch before Sarrance p 85
After the first star burst gate you should regain the road (fork L) to avoid having to climb over a very large rock blocking the path, which makes the path seriously narrow. If one was able to climb up it might be very difficult to come back down to retrace one's steps.
A pilgrim reports (May 2008): "the path is currently impassable and becomes extremely unsafe after the rock. I actually managed to climb over the rock and then was in real difficulties. Not only is it difficult to turn around and come down over the rock again, but to move forward is also extremely dangerous. Had I known about this I simply would have continued on the R134."
On the old Topo guide this was advised and one walked on the east side of the river in meadows! The path has been heavily eroded by rainfall. I See also Miam Miam Dodo Voie d'Arles Plan 75. Between the point marked height 319m at the railway viaduct and the road where it is marked Gave d'Aspe.
