Our Personal Message:
Hi and thanks for visiting,

We made it! At 3pm on the 2nd september 2011, after 64 days and 900km, David arrived at Banyuls sur mer on the Mediterranean. This page remains open until further notice, so please do give something if you haven't already, and see the photos and reports on the blog listed below.

.....................................

We are walking the complete length of the Pyrenean mountain range starting June 29th 2011, taking approximately 7-8 weeks, with around 900km with approx 40-50km of ascent/descent. This is a coast to coast walk in high mountains on the border of France and Spain, beginning in Hendaye on the Atlantic, and finishing in Banyuls Sur Mer on the Mediterranean.

David is walking the whole route, but along the way, Tanya, Tim, Mark, & Thomas are joining the walk for up to 2 weeks at a time. We'll attempt some summits when the weather allows. We'll use the High Route, the GR10 and GR11. Its high, its hot, its stormy and its beautiful.

This walk is for 2 charities:

1. Soundmix is a charity David started in 2006. We provide refugee orphans in London with arts and music activities to give therapeutic respite from otherwise chaotic and mismanaged lives. We have helped many into school, college, housing and employment. http://www.soundmix.org.uk/

2. The John Muir Trust Wild Land Campaign aims to protect wilderness areas in Scotland and the UK for future generations against the pressures of industrialisation. http://www.jmt.org/home.asp

You can track our progress here when the walk starts.

None of the participants are flying or driving, only trains, buses, cycles or foot will be used to get to trailhead. All walkers pay all their own costs, so all the money goes straight to the charities, 100%.
