New update of grpdesbf.nl : my trips of 2025 published

 

Updating is for me procrastination. It took almost a year to do so.

I added the 8 daytrips of may and august/september 2025, including 6 tough trips with Carlos and Conchita Roca to assist them in their quest for their last borderdermarkers. Start on this page for all 8 trips.

There was one solo-trip: a visit to the recently discovered bm271bis (by Sébastien Marc) on 26-8-2025

And I visited Simorre twice, a village where the famous border-commissioner Jean Sermet is buried. I did some research about him, see this page (at the end of it).

The next step for Carlos & Conchita Roca who completed all esfr-bordermarkers last year. In their hometown – in the local library of Cervello – they have at this moment (4-29 may) a photo-exhibition of their most beautiful bordermarker-pictures.

And that is not all: at may 22th they will give a lecture under the title “Along the 723 bordermarkers of the Franco-Spanish border”:

I would have loved to see the exhibition and attend their lecture but it’s a little far away from the Netherlands. I predict a new future for them as missionaries of the great quest to do all esfr-bordermarkers.
