Every year in September, the "
Friends of the Comet Line" organise a long weekend - the highlight of which is the re-tracing (on foot!) of one of the actual wartime routes taken by Comète guides (aka smugglers) and evading Allied aircrew in crossing the Pyrenees into Spain.
The dates for 2018 are 14th, 15th & 16th September. (unfortunate clash with BoB dates I know)
The walk should be well within the capabilities of even relapsed aircrew (!). We do in 2 days what the evaders did in one night.. plus they had to contend with German patrols and trigger happy border sentries from La Guardia Civil in Spain.
