A 500km, month-long trek
in the French and Spanish Pyrenees !
My trekking partner, Amélie Keyser, and I trekked using the famous HRP (Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne),G-10 and G-11 trails for 30+ days in the summer 2008. We bivouaced while on the trail and put our map and compass skills to good use as we navigated the more challenging sections of the HRP.
Many thanks to the following people for their support as we pursued our endeavor:
-
Nicole and Jean-Philippe Saint-Cyr (France)
-
David Akpangny and Fabienne Guimont (France)
-
Peter Forrest (England)
-
and of course, my beloved husband, Karl Kretschmar
