Soon after this I arrived at Mal Vallon and the parting of the ways. It was here that I could choose to take a non-GR path (paint-marked in green) over the top of Mont Caume to come down and rejoin the GR 51 at the Col du Corps de Garde between Mont Caume and Cap Gros. This I decided to do and was soon climbing fairly steeply though mostly still in the shade of the trees thankfully.
