Anyone contemplating going can look forward to walking and socialising with a group of people the like of which you are unlikely to meet elsewhere. They come in all ages and include Basques, Belgians, British, French, Irish and Spanish, as well as other Europeans and Americans, Antipodals, Canadians and others. Many are related either to the passeurs, Comet operatives, or their customers. Various tales are recounted on the way. Special fitness or climbing ability not required, but catholic tastes in food and drink are a bonus.
N/S accommodation needs to be reserved in good time, as September is a favourite time of the year for hikers and other tourists in the region.
