September 2011

By Tammy McLendon

GR5 (the Grande Rondonnee Cinq) begins at Hoek van Holland on the North Sea and is 1500+- miles on foot through Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and France to Nice on the Mediterranean.
We leave the last week of April 2012 and plan to be walking about one hundred days, not counting rest days and time spent in interesting towns along the way. Jim has been reading accounts of past walkers on the route and researching the history and architecture of the area. He is good. Has it down to the day with variants pre-planned and already has reservations for sections of the route that are challenging to find lodging in.
