The GR11 Trail: The Traverse of the Spanish Pyrenees Brian Johnson

The GR11 traverses the Spanish Pyrenees from Irun on the Atlantic coast to Cap de Creus on the Mediterranean, and often enjoys better weather than its French counterpart, the GR10. Leading over high passes and through sweeping valleys, the 820km route is presented in 45 stages. Trekkers require experience of high mountains. Author Biography: Since taking early retirement from his career as a physics and sports teacher, Brian Johnson has found time for three thru-hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2700-mile round-Britain walk and a single summer compleation of the Munros. A keen climber and hiker, he has led school groups in Britain, the Alps, the Pyrenees and California and has completed ten traverses from Atlantic to Mediterranean on the Pyrenean Haute Route, GR11 or GR10.
