I wonder if I could find someone to carry my backpack on the TGO? Nice idea – we’ll have Cameron to deal with though!

I wonder if I could find someone to carry my backpack on the TGO?

I've noticed that they take longer to recover from every long trip. I've even started with the glucosamine and chondroitin again recently (reaches for it, guiltily--haven't taken it today). What you say about the joys of a long walk with a light pack resonates with me. It was, in fact, exactly what I was planning to do this summer--probably along the GR10--before I conceived the GR20 plan. I too was inspired by the sight of all those French peeps skipping lightly along the path, in my case when I took a day off at Bagneres de Luchon last summer and nipped up the mountain in a cable car. I think we should start a petition to have cable cars installed on all the more attractive mountains *g* That would be more effective than glucosamine and chondroitin in the long-term...
