Customer Reviews
HRP reviewed - Rated This is the definitive book on the HRP. Although Kev Reynolds' "Walks & Climbs in the Pyrenees" is useful (especially in giving the daily distances in kms -- a surprising omission in Joosten's guide) -- its HRP section is shorter, less useful and deviates a tad too much from the classic route. Joosten's guide is a mine of information on routes, refuges, bad weather variants, transport, the lot. Don't go without it. As with all these guides, the timings (without allowance for stops) are challenging, at least initially, and allowance needs to be made for this especially on the very long days and if walking at the end of the season when the days are much shorter. Personally I always walk with a tent + sleeping bag for safety, flexibility and to avoid snorers in some of the older refuges where you still sleep 'sardine style'. Walking at the very beginning of September avoids the crowds (important if you want to turn up to the refuges on spec) and the snow. Joosten rightly points out that the weather is changeable but this is perhaps an acceptable trade-off for the aforementioned benefits plus cooler weather. Happy & successful walking should be assured if you follow Jossten's advice.
