This is where Geoff was this morning in Hendaye where he started his GR10 walk

Right by the beach as you can see

This is where he is tonight, at Sare after walking 31km

So that means he has done the first 2 stages in one day.

Just what you would expect from him.

Ssssoooo Funny

This little animal really exists!
Unbelievable but true.

It’s called a Naked Mole-Rat, from Africa .

Going through life is hard enough,
but to go through life looking like a dick with buck teeth must be horrible!

(Thanks Adelle for making me laugh so much )

My moment of Fame…

While at work today I got a phone call from the assistant editor of the Tesco staff magazine.

They wanted to ask me some questions about my GR20 walk.

As they are going to run a little article about it in the next issue of the magazine.

All I have to do now is e-mail them a photo….

While talking about having a moment of fame do not forget about my second moment of fame and the unusual request I had from Maple Kiwi.

Her book  ” sex in a tent“ is out in October, and is already a bestseller at no 57 of Amazons top 100 camping book list.

Don’t forget to get your order in soon……

Geoff’s Route

image

This is Geoff’s walking route, plotted on Memory map and put into his GPS.

He has marked all the refuges onto the route.

There are plenty of them so no need to take his tent just a bivvy bag,this will keep the weight of his ruc-sac well down.

His average walking day seems to be around 13 miles,although there are some shorter days.

Knowing Geoff he will try to double up a few days,and try to get as far as he can as quick as he can.

He has new walking boots…lets hope they are comfortable and give him no blisters,as I wont be there this time to massage cream into his feet every night 🙂
