Two days between Nismes and the Trois Fontaines bivouac. An approach, a long loop beneath the trees, a night outside, then the return.

Two days. Three tracks.

The first recording stops after the approach, then resumes farther on. The gap stays visible: it is part of the story, without inventing the missing metres.

03 / ELEVATION

The profile, not the record.

A steady climb on day one, then the return to the starting point. The curves are smoothed to make the terrain easier to read.

Estimated elevation profiles for both days

Route built from three personal GPS recordings. Distance and elevation are rounded; recorded time excludes the GPS gap and includes stops.

04 / FRAMES FROM THE TRAILNismes · Belgium

What I brought back from the trail.

Four frames only. They appear here, after the route, so the track can tell the trip before the memories do.

Rock, open to the sky.

02

Coffee, trees and a tent.

An opening in the greenery.
