Thanks for the inspiration and detailed info – now I’m off to Cauterets this weekend!
Can you tell me your walking time estimate for Wallon to Oulettes des Gaubes?

Hi Andy, came across your site while planning for a walk in July. We will be walking for 9 days, staying in a mix of refuges and hotels. Is it possible (and advisable)to book a refuge 2 or 3 months in advance? Rhanks for a great site. Steve

Grief.

Martin. Such flattery will get you everywhere.

I like to write and I have endless stories (as you’ve probably noticed). And I’ve been messing about with this for 18 months in one guise or another.

Great Blog. Just one question- how much time does it take you to make it so good ? I am tempted to get into blogging, but only if I can do it (nearly) as well as you.

Roman,

There’s more to come. My next posts will suggest a first trek on the HRP – the section that I describe as the HRP’s Greatest Hits. (Actually I can only do this bit as it is the only bit I have decent digital photos of!).

I’ve been meaning to do this as separate web pages for 2 years, Indeed, there must be people out there getting fed up of waiting. I then decided to write the text as blog entries – and I might then paginate them more professionally later.

The HRP section will be split into four or five posts.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was wondering if it wasn’t a little too big!

Steve,

You’ll have a great time – and you’ll be back !!!

I’m not sure what time of the year you’re going but carry food with you in case the Refuge is booked out – for if you arrive late. The beer (and wine) will still be there though!

As for the showers – well you can use them. On my last visit they were decidedly cold. But the toilets were more than a hole in the ground.

The camping ground is luxurious. Grassy, comfortable and with – well – wonderful views.

Andy…A great two part series so far. Really raises your appetite to follow your example! Can’t even imagine how long it did take you to write all this up and make it “blog compatible”.
Thanks for all your efforts!
