Peter, thanks a lot for your scan. Could you perhaps make a more precise scan of the tripoint-area, the one you attached is rather vague. By the way, I can't remember any other inscription at the bordermarker.

Summarizing the facts so far:

- the French maps (most of them) positions the tp at the pass

- the Spanish maps also, only a little to the south-west

- the Andorran 1:10.000 map however sets the tp 100-200 meters to the south

In august of this year, there will be another Pyrenees-hike. Perhaps this will include photographing the bordermarkers of Llivia and a new trial to climb the Pic de Medecourbe, the western tp of Andorra.

vriendelijke groet, Eef Berns

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Another French map of Tp AdFrEsEast

Just found a French topomap on the bottom of one of

my draws - "carte de France" 1:50.000 - Feuille XXI-49

Fontargente - Edition 5 - from Oct. 1968. (see attachm.)

This map is in contradiction with the other French 1:50k

map in Eef's great report on this tripoint : it shows the

actual tripoint to be right on "Portella Blanca d'Andorra"

or "la Porteille Blanche" -

it hereby confirms the French-Spanish border treaty from

1868 mentioned by Eef...!

Eef, one important question: boundary marker # 427

on top of the P.B. pass, does it show any other inscriptions

than the number...???

All the best

Peter H.
