Founding Editor Philip Faiers is currently undertaking a big adventure.
Despite his 57 years and two dodgy knees, he is walking the entire length of the Pyrénées,
from Hendaye to Banyuls a distance of 903km with a massive 49,000m of climb and descent
along the way. He is attempting the walk with a fellow Brit, Kingsley Hodgkins,
who is walking to raise money for a children¹s charity in Toulouse.
Any readers who find themselves in the Pyrénées are most welcome to join them.
For further information of their planned itinerary see www.gr10.org

A long, long walk today, made better by finding a mountain restaurant open. Blueberry tart has never tasted better. A long and scary traverse took me to the Refuge de Rulhe. Slept in a dormitory with eight others, one Dutchman had 'wind' all night - the original 'Dutch oven'!. A German Frau on the next mattress pulled my blanket off me in the middle of the night. I suspect it was to stop me snoring.
