Pyrenean High Route 2009 - Introduction
Posted by Mark Richardson on Sep 07, 2009
During the first two weeks of September, I walked the first two sections of the Pyrenean High Route as defined in the Cicerone Guide by Ton Joosten, Hendaye-Plage to Gavarnie. Excluding travel, I walked for 12 days, wild-camping on six nights, campsite on three, refuge on one and hotel on one. Details of the trip can be accessed below:

Mark was the founder of Ultralight Outdoor Gear back in 2006 and has completed long distance backpacking routes in some of the remotest parts of the world. His favourite hikes have been Torres del Paine (full circuit), the John Muir trail and the Markha Valley trail (Ladakh, India). Although semi-retired Mark has not lost any enthusiasm for minimalist backpacking and is tackling Scotland’s Munros choosing multi-day backpacking routes over the more usual guide book excursions. |
