What a CRAZY idea!


Talking with Sara and Sandi over the summer (probably with a bottle or two of Rioja involved) we decided it would be a good idea to walk the Pyrenees.

Except I didn't realise that they are 800km long. I thought that they were about 500km, which is quite enough! So approximately 500miles peaking at Pico de Aneto at 3404m.

AND then I read that it involves climbing a total of 39,500meters! I think that is the equivalent of 40 times the height of Helvellyn from sea level...and here is a photo of Helvellyn to give me some idea of what we are doing.
