Corsica: Hiking the GR20

May 30, 2011

With less than six weeks to go before embarking on the second leg of our Corsica hike, I have posted the itinerary for part 1 of our hike under Longer Trip Itineraries.

Corsica is a magical place, close to Paris and yet curiously exotic.  For fervent hikers, the GR20 (Grand Randonnée or “Long Hike” #20) is an absolute must.  It is not an easy hike.  But if you are ready for a physical challenge and if the idea of a mountain escape with a beach waiting for you at the end of the trail sounds like heaven, book your tickets now.  All the logistical details for the northern nine days of the 15-day hike are in the itinerary.  I’ll post the itinerary for the southern six days after the July 14 holiday.

Now, time for me to beef up the training!
