Hello Steve!
We’ve been enjoying your blog and have three Pyrenees on order (one being yours) and waiting patiently for them to arrive. I connected the Le Puy (Camino) to the Norte (Camino de Santiago) by walking five days from St Jean Pied de Port to Hendeye two years ago. I walked the 1,100 miles with five of my six children completely on foot and 80 percent of it sleeping outside. My kids were ages 9,11,13,15,17 at the time. We all agreed the Pyrenees was our favorite part.
This summer we will return to the mountains that call us. Not certain if just the 11, 13 year old (they’ve aged in two years), maybe my 15 year old. At first we wanted to do the GR10 but recently have switched gears to the GR11. Totally based on my assumption that the French side might be more expensive and I stressed more in France about getting food…
I’ve read your comparisons and still manically go back and forth with my decision. If we do the GR11 we will be starting in St Jean and do those five days on the GR10 and then start the GR11…
any advice between the two is welcome. You are an amazing resource, Thank you!
Hello Neve
As I said on my GR11 site, you might find Spain a bit cheaper, but only 10% or so. You can, of course cross from the GR11 to the GR10 on one of the cross-frontier routes. Plan so that you have the option, particularly if the weather forecasts say one side is better than the other.
