| highlight: refugio enric pujol, i don't know if it was the cosyness, the hard walk of that day, the storm right behind us or the absence of human influence in the surroundings, it was just amazing. the day we spend with the high mountain division of the spanish army near aneto was pretty neat too :) | |||||

| i'm very scared of heights (no, actually falling from them) so the very steep descent somewhere towards ref enric pujol was probably the scariest moment for me. i didn't really enjoy being blown of the col d'Eyne either. all the other hardship were ok :) | |||||

| Did the whole thing, setting off early June & aiming to do a few peaks en route. Camped often & had to make several walks into the valley for food [ always returning to the exact same spot on the HRP ]. Planning involved buying all the maps & the Veron guide & deciding when to pack in work. | |||||

| Take a tent with you. Don't sleep, but eat in each refuge you're passing by regardless of the hour. We send ourself a package to Gavarny with food, clothes and maps. After Malladetta you can send back your pickel and crampons. Starting from Noarre was the nicest etape. It was a nice track without injuries and without any delay or day without walking. | |||||

| Orientation in Pays Bask is difficult. Several days with rain on a row is a crime. But, it makes it all only more beautifull! | |||||
