About the Author
When asked to describe my father, the word indomitable invariably springs to mind. Dad's exploits provided a thread of marvellous adventure throughout our otherwise ordinary upbringing. He first visited the Pyrenees more than 35 years ago and then, a few years later, returned on honeymoon. The majestic and diverse mountains caught his imagination but it was not until 1987 that he began to revisit them in earnest, first with the whole family, and later with interested friends. He undertook a number of solo trips when collecting material for the guide to the GR11, Through the Spanish Pyrenees, published in 1996 (revised 1999). For the revision, he walked the entire length of the trail in one expedition with his son. When not in the mountains, dad, who lives in retirement in Shropshire, spends his time constructing a new model railway (complete with Pyrenean castle, of course!), cycling and walking. Dad always puts all of himself into his projects. I hope in reading this guide you will enjoy his company even half as much as I have - and still do.

Customer Reviews

A Walker
Initially I thought this was a very good book, with nice pictures and a helpful daily mileage, but on closer inspection found most of the information was taken from other books and his route descriptions very dull and difficult to follow, if you need books for the GR10 the Topoguides and Trekking in the Pyrenees by Douglas Streatfeild-James a better combination. He also made a comment about one valley being dark and dreary, we walked it on two gloriously sunny days where it was anything but, not a very helpful comment, most places will change with the weather.
