Last year I mussed on a walk that might carry me from the North Coast of France to the South. There’s a great ISGN map that you can buy that shows all of the GR routes in the country. Any number of options exist to do this walk and many of them would be fantastic. I seem to remember having a chat to Alan Sloman about this a few years ago when he was mussing on a follow-up walk to his Lands End to John O’Groats trek.
Anyhow, in comes a comment to the original post from David McDowell whois seriously thinking of taking this on as a project. Am quite jealous. Perhaps I should think about doing this myself, even in stages if necessary. David tells me that the various tourist websites in the Pas de Calais region don’t even mention the existence of any long distance footpaths at all. Which would be a shame.
David lives in the Midlands somewhere so maybe there’s a podcast interview in this. Meanwhile — for all of you Francophiles — I’m going to get the map out and look at some options!
