On Saturday, March 14, some boys from the Raier Youth Club, from Lleida, went to the Peramola and Pallerols de Rialb area to do clearing work on stage 1 of the Andorra Trail. This stage starts at the Bridge of Peramola, at the exit of Oliana, and reaches Pallerols passing through Peramola.

 

On time, at 10 in the morning, we met at the Oliana gas station. The weather forecast announced a rainy day but despite this they were not afraid to go out into the mountains to do the planned work. There were more people registered but, given the bad weather announcements, in the end there were only 6 of us, the bravest!

The boys from Lleida were: Toti Bosch, César Roure, Miquel Coma, Gerard López and Ricard Mitjana. They were also accompanied by Jordi Piferrer, who, with an all-terrain vehicle, carried out supply tasks.

We worked mainly on the old Sant Marc road, which goes from Peramola to Pallerols.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Around 2 pm we arrived at the Saint Raphael Cabin, where we had lunch with what everyone had brought.

After lunch we continued the work passing through the Source of Comalpou and arriving in Pallerols around 4 pm.

 

 

There we greeted some families (the Casamitjana family) who met in Pallerols to celebrate a reunion after 35 years of not seeing each other, as they live in very distant places.

A day very well spent and with the desire to repeat these volunteer activities.

Those who want to become Volunteers, register here. Every second Saturday of the month we do a section of the Andorra Trail, a route that goes from Oliana to Andorra and is 100 km long.
