Starting from Hendaye on the west coast, the GR10 route cuts through the mountains of the Pays Basque, Béarn and Hautes Pyrénées to Luchon. From here it continues generally in an easterly direction to pass the sparsely populated Ariège, then across the Pyrénées Orientales to end on the Mediterranean coast at Banyuls-sur-Mer. The total distance is some 538 miles (866km). Like the sound of it? if anyone wants to join us for a day, weekend or week of walking, check out the day-by-day itinerary below and let us know.
