Revised edition, with 30 photos. In a sweeping panorama which takes
in everything from hot pepper ice cream and slug sex to the legacy
of the Romantic Movement and the future of the European brown bear,
this book is a fascinating portrait of the French Pyrenees as they
move into the 21st century. It is also the story of a solitary
walker and a long-distance footpath, the Pyrenean Way (GR10). When
he set out from the Atlantic coast, Steve Cracknell thought he was
heading for the Mediterranean on a trail which ambled through the
foothills. He ended up with crampons and ice axe, crossing glaciers
to tackle the highest peaks of the range. In a book which is by
turns amusing and thoughtful he treads lightly across the
landscape, concluding that the Pyrenees are changing rapidly. Now
is the time to discover them. Reviews of the first edition: 'A very
humorous tale of adventure.' The French Paper Book of the Month
February 2010. 'A superb and unique addition to books about the
Pyrenees.' Strider Magazine.
