Mountains of Aragon
Looking east from Navarra towards the high peaks of Aragon is exciting though worrying at the same time. I couldn't imagine how I was going to make it through the steep climbs and drops over the next couple of weeks. This wasn't helped by the fact that I had just received word from Lola in Barcelona that the son of a friend of hers had started the GR11 about 2 weeks before us and had just given up in Alto Aragon because he couldn't take the heights and difficult terrain.

7 months later.
Well we have been back in New Zealand for 7 months now and the Big Walk seems like distant history however I have been promising myself that I want to tweak the blog a bit. We have a lot more photos now and the early entries at the beginning of the walk weren't that detailed so they need to be upgraded. I want to see if I can also put a map on the blogsite showing the actual walk that we did (we did a few extras apart from the GR11, climbing to the top of Puigmal for example and a visit over to the Sierra de Cadi).
Now that the pain in my feet has subsided my thoughts are turning to the next challenge; I like Spain so maybe a walk through the Picos de Europa? Its only 250 kilometres so it would be, as Mr. Bennett was so fond of saying as we struggled uphill in the Pyrenees, a walk in the park.
