4.0 out of 5 stars Trekking in the Pyrenees 4 Dec 2002
By Hilary Margaret Jones
Format:Paperback
Dougie (as we came to know him) was our guide through the Pyrenees on the GR10. The book gives an invaluable, day-by-day account of the trek, detailing accomodation, services, and water points en route. Essential for any walker - it even fits in the pocket of your converter trousers.

Criticisms of the book include Dougies frenetic, and unpredictable walking pace - the only time we managed to match him was when we were sprinting down a mountainside in a thunderstorm. Secondly, Dougie neglects to mention a couple of hair-raising moments on the GR10, such as the passage around the outside of the cliff tunnel on the approach to Arrens-Marsous.

Nevertheless, I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone considering walking on the GR10 or GR11 in the Pyrenees - Just add on about 4 hours to his walking times!

This is an excellent guide with good directions and mentions landmarks etc to help with route finding. It also is helpful on places to stay and comments about Gites and Refuges and Auberges. If used in tandem with a Topoguide and a map it is all you need for the GR10. There are also other routes in the Pyrenées so if your walk takes you in other directions off the GR10 you won't need another guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars As thorough a guide as you will need. 4 Sep 2003
By R. Campbell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used this guide last summer to walk the first half of the GR10 before bouncing over to the alps to do the Tour de Mont Blanc and the Haute route to Zermatt.

This guide has everything you need to survive the trip. Of course, over time things change. some epiceries, gites and campgrounds will close or change their hours, but that is some of the fun of this trip. the uncertainty of where you are going next.

Over 300 km's, i only found one major error in the guide, and i think that error was due to the cutting of a new logging road which made finding the existing logging road much more difficult.

I guess if there was a problem with the guide is that it didn't explain well how difficult some of the optional excursions were. I forget the name for the non-main trails, but I was scared off due to a lack of a detailed description about potential dangers of various alternatives.
