Countertop (1,569 m).
is time to resume the march ...

Despite the existence of geodesic, the highest point of this part of the tailpiece is not the Cerro Countertop but hardly a relevant dimension which lies a few yards northwest of the summit, called The Cumbrecita. ..

NAVAZUELOS Bluff Hill (1,642 m).
It's 17:05 pm, I take all the blame, I've immortalized among the photos and delete the existing tops ... no entertainment here, we continue to progress along the ridge in a westerly direction in search of AV-501 road from where we descend to the village of Pine Navalperal ... Once there, return to our starting point in Las Navas del Marques ...

El Espino Polo Top (1,522 m).
Mane must be at the height of Pine Navalperal so I hasten to descend the service road in search of the AV-501 ...
... I leave the wind farm ...
... important when ice is present ...
... the height of the AV-501 ...
... amounting to Puerto de la Lancha ...
... by which descend towards Navalperal of Pine ...
... as the sun begins its farewell ...
... Luckily there is little traffic on this road ...
... watching the colors of the sunset ...
... some are already enjoying his dinner ...
... I am looking forward Mane ...
... in the place where we should deviate from the road.
We left the AV-501 to continue along a forest track leading to the Camino Viejo de Las Navas, heading to Las Navas del Marqués, avoiding the busy road linking CL-505 Navalperal of Pine to Las Navas del Marqués. ..
... first meters of the forest path ...

Without

Touring the village lit by the dim light of lanterns, we reached the truck at 19:10 hours, while the temperature decreases rapidly.
