Today was a hard day for me started off with a long steep bouldery climb up to the highest point on GR 20 the views of the lakes were fab. We then had to cut across the mountain which involved alot of climbing and bouldering before a stony and wet decent to the refuge de petra piana . I was slow today so geoff raced a head of me all day but i will get him back one day .

Its 6am on sunday morning and we are getting ready to begin our gr20 walk. Arrived in
Calenzana last night around 10pm an hour behind time due to a rough crossing. After a 35 euro taxi journey we arrived at hotel monte grosse.Very strange lady running the hotel thanks to 2 guys from holland we finally got our room. No other english here and they all keep saying how hard this walk is !
So time now for us to in and see what all the fuss is about .
