Things to do No. 3: weed the allotment

As I will be away for 2 months I need to get down the allotment to do some weeding and watering. It will also help me to relax. And of course I can pop in to The Heaton Perk for a coffee, cake and do some knitting.

What we are doing...

The length of the Pyrenees is 435km.

The walking route is the Gran Recorrido (GR)11 on the Spanish side of the mountains which is 837km following old shepherd paths from Cabo Higuer on the Atlantic to Cabo de Creus on the Mediterranean.

The total ascent along the GR11 is 39,500 meters (4.5 times the height of Mt Everest) and we are planning on doing it in 50 days starting 28th May, finish about 16th July 2008.

We will pass through the Spanish regions of Euskadi (The Basque Country), Navarra, Aragon, Catalunya and the principality of Andorra.
