GR11 Day 36- Hiking in a Cloud


Day 36 of my solo thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!

Here I hiked a variation of the GR11 (the GR11.2) from Torrente Llardaneta to Ibon (lake) Llardaneta, up to Collado de Eriste, then down a beautiful valley. I camped in a forest full of wild strawberries, somewhere between Refugio de Viados and Refugio de Es Plans.
Very excited about the berries 😁

Too many cows in this one! :D


GR11 Day 34- COWS!


Day 34 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees!

I started the day at Cabana de Quillon, got food from a campground shop, then saved myself from the rain at Cabana de Santa Ana. Then all the cows in the world came onto the GR11. I don’t know what was going on there but it smelled really bad!
I found camping a bit off the GR11 next to Barranco de la Aigueta (near Ibonet de Batisielles).

videos.trom.tf/w/uqTyudp1MvcF7…

Here I walked from Estanh Long de Colomers, followed the GR11 trail to Lac Deth, where I swam, camped, and made a satay chicken taco 😄 On day 31 I walked to Lake Restanca and then onto the HRP to Lac de Mar.

Very impressive lakes in this part of the Spanish Pyrenees! I loved them!

My thru-hike Day 25-27-
videos.trom.tf/w/3WjVNkM9HmYvG…
Here I walked from Tavascan (Spain) to Lake Maurici, passing by a few small villages and finding camping wherever possible. I also learned a lesson here: never put your bag on the ground in these small villages- as there are plenty of dogs there!

haha yeah there are many things to think about :) and from here on out the scenery was really spectacular :D


Day 23-24: videos.trom.tf/w/12ffEq8NRNxdW…

Here I walked from the Baiau Refuge, turned off of the GR11 to trek the HRP (Haute Route Pyrenees) and slept in Refugi de Baborte (also called Refugi del Cinquantenari). Then I took another variation and followed a trail called “La Porta del Cel” to get back to the GR11 at a little village called Tavascan.

A day well spent! 😄

There was snow on the ground but it wasn't snowing when you were there 🤔

Then there was a swarm of flies, that was unexpected 🪰

Do many people bring their dogs to GR 11? I'm afraid of dogs, lol 😅

in reply to Rokosun

haha no I don't think many people would bring their dogs to do the entire GR11, it would be really difficult for the dog, but people can do bits and pieces of it (like for just a few days) with their dog, I've seen that a bunch


Day 22- New video from my thru-hike:
videos.trom.tf/w/4eLZSfaA6SWj7…

Day 21-22 of my thru-hike: videos.trom.tf/w/v2H2mY7MUC4cS…

I went off the main GR11 trail (onto the GR11.1 variant) to save myself from walking/camping in the rain. I slept in Refuge Pla de l'Estany (a free mountain hut), then walked to Estany Forcat (a beautiful mountain lake) in the Pyrenees Mountains on the border of Spain and Andorra.

I made it to Andorra! And witnessed the craziest thunderstorm of my life! 😄

Rokosun reshared this.

in reply to Sasha

If I was there I'd probably waste a lot of time looking at these amazing views and never really go anywhere, haha 😅

And I'm glad you didn't have to camp in that crazy storm, the fallen trees look scary, I hope no one got hurt.

in reply to Rokosun

haha I think I also spent a lot of time looking at the views, and moved very slowly because of that :D Yeah I hope no one got hurt too, that storm really came out of nowhere


Thru-hike Day 16-18: Blisters and Horses!
videos.trom.tf/w/b8YtQcs5KDgeQ…

Somewhere around here I had to raise my daily budget from 3 euros to 5. There was just no way I could get up those mountains without donuts and chorizo! :D
My blisters were also killing me! And many horses wanted to eat my food! :D

in reply to Sasha

You have a good sense of humor 😄

And damn those mountains and rivers look beautiful, such a lovely place 😍

in reply to Rokosun

thanks 😄 yes they are really beautiful places 😊
