They cover the Basque Country, Pic du Midi d’Ossau and the western Pyrenees, Vignemale and La Alta Ruta de los Perdidos, Réserve Naturelle de Néouvielle, Carros de Foc, Montagnes d’Ax and Les Pérics, and Puigmal and Canigou in Catalonia.

Tentang Penulis
After taking early retirement from his career as a physics and sports teacher, Brian Johnson found time for three thru’-hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2700-mile round-Britain walk, six hikes across the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, a hike along the Via de la Plata from Seville to Santiago, and a single summer compleation of the Munros (Scotland’s 3000ft mountains), as well as climbing all the Corbetts (Scotland’s 2500-3000ft mountains) and the Grahams (Scotland’s 2000-2500ft mountains). He completed a 2200-mile cycle tour of Spain and France and multi-week canoe tours in Sweden, France, Spain and Portugal. In his younger days, Brian’s main sport was orienteering. He competed at a high level and coached both Bishop Wordsworth’s School and South-West Junior Orienteering squads. He also surveyed and drew many orienteering maps. He walked and climbed extensively in Britain, the Alps, the Pyrenees and California, often leading school groups. As a fanatical sportsman and games player, Brian competed to a high standard at cricket, hockey, bridge and chess. His crowning achievement was winning the 1995/96 World Amateur Chess Championships. Brian hiked under the trail name of Ancient Brit. Sadly, Brian passed away in 2021.Beli ebook ini dan dapatkan 1 lagi GRATIS!
