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

Day 49

Mike Shrimpton rejoined us at Las Illas for the last two days of walking. With the two German lads we are now ten! The walk was tedious, around 25km, much of it on tracks and little-used roads. But the reward at the end of a long day was the Chalet de l'Albère, a stunningly positioned refuge on a natural balcony looking west. Dinner and beers on the terrace as the sun set over Canigou was magical.
