Hello,
I am planning to follow the HRP from west (Hendaya) to East (Banyuls-Sur-Mer) in September/October 2014. I know its a long way off, but necessitated by job schedules etc.
I am interested in hearing from others with similar aspirations, especially what preparation you are doing including training, planning etc. Any suggestions and contact is welcome!
The HRP, by bicycle?
Um …
Cheers
Planning to backpack on foot!
If by foot, this post is at the wrong location.
I would first and foremost advice to purchase a guidebook. Cicerone's book is the best English literature with regard to the HRP: http://www.cicerone.co.uk/product/detail.cfm/book/555/title/the-pyrenean-haute-route
Can be bought as an adobe ebook (no shipping and weight saving on trail.
There is a nice trip report around BPL by Amy: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=37414
Mind you, she was VERY fortunate weatherwise.
Personaly, I would avoid July & August – to many people, and go early september. Less daylight and slightly worse weather though @ september.
