This blog

This blog was simply a means for me to keep loved ones and friends informed of my progress (or lack thereof) on the trail while I attempted parts of the GR 10. I started on August 29, 2019, and I had no idea of how far I would be going. Maybe I’d stop after two weeks, maybe after two months, time would tell. For me the measure of success was not be how far I would go, but how much I enjoyed the trail. The goal was to stay in the moment, not achieve any particular number of kilometers.

Every day I posted a short summary. There were technical reasons for it being short, as I was posting from my cell phone. Its tiny keyboard doesn’t make it easy to write long posts. Also, I was posting whenever I got a good connection, which was not every day – and I let everybody know not to be alarmed if nothing got posted for a few days. I posted pictures too, but that was possible only if they were taken with my phone. Additional pictures were taken with a small camera that was not linked to my phone, and some of these, and the map below, I added when my trip was over.

Enjoy this blog and don’t hesitate to share your comments!
