Tonight Geoff is in Etienne de Baigorry after walking 16km, with 1260m of ascent and 1248m of decent, this took him 7 hours.

He rang me tonight and sounded well if a little tired,I think his plan is to walk to Saint-Jean-pied-de-port next where he will take a few hours rest.

Yesterday he had trouble getting food so has used up most of his supplies and tonight he had to buy and cook pasta for his dinner. So I hope he stocks up with food again and looks after himself well.

This is where Geoff was this morning in Hendaye where he started his GR10 walk

Right by the beach as you can see

This is where he is tonight, at Sare after walking 31km

So that means he has done the first 2 stages in one day.

Just what you would expect from him.

This is Geoff’s walking route, plotted on Memory map and put into his GPS.

He has marked all the refuges onto the route.

There are plenty of them so no need to take his tent just a bivvy bag,this will keep the weight of his ruc-sac well down.

His average walking day seems to be around 13 miles,although there are some shorter days.

Knowing Geoff he will try to double up a few days,and try to get as far as he can as quick as he can.

He has new walking boots…lets hope they are comfortable and give him no blisters,as I wont be there this time to massage cream into his feet every night 🙂
