4.0 out of 5 stars Trekking in the Pyrenees, 4 Dec 2002
By Hilary M Jones (York, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Trekking, 30 Oct 2004
By A Customer
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.
