France 2004

Pyrenees, Route des Bonhommes

  • September 2004, with Petra (156 km in 8 days.   1   6  )

  • Into the footsteps of the Cathares. The idea was to cross the Pyrenean Mountains from France into Spain, like the Cathares did centuries ago. We made it into the last valley to Andorra and Spain, but the heat drove us back and we retraced our steps back to civilisation. Still, 8 days of great hiking.
