'Adventure along the Spanish Pyrenees - a great new read - 335 pages

dick handscombe's picture

This lively 335 page travelogue describes a 52 day 950 kilometre walk completed by Dick and Clodagh Handscombe to celebrate Dick's retirement. It describes their daily progress, the type of walking experienced, what they lived on , where they camped or bed and breakfasted, what they saw, the friendly mountain folk they met, the fantastic weather they experienced and other experiences from having to change the way ahead due to inexpected heavy summer snow and forest fires, seeing a wolf, being attacked by an eagle and seeing the recent diggings of a bear which luckily did not appear. They started the walk /hike at the Cape Higuer lighthouse to trhe west of the town of Irun and ended up in Llanca on the Mediterranean coast after a great holiday during which surpeisingly they met only one other long distance walker. Rather different to the several hgundred a day one can meet on the better known pilgrim trek to Santiago Compostella.

'Adventure along the Spanish Pyrenees' can be purchased from Amazon Books worldwide as a handheld soft covered book or Kindle Reader book.
