Its the Bank Holiday and I'm thinking where would I like to hike next? My wife wants me to hike as part of a group but I've had no luck with that so she accepts I'll be off hiking alone again.
My problem now is that I've done most of the obvious and most popular hikes in France, Tour du Mont Blanc, some 2 week stints on a few GR routes, Stevenson Way (GR70), GR4, GR6, GR36. etc and one really long hike on the GR10 in 2015. Now I feel stuck, which one next while I'm still fit and able enough to have a go?
I always fancied hiking the GR5 but for some unknown reason, I'm just not motivated about the idea now.
I've never done it before but would I enjoy a cycling trip, I just can't decide if I would? The most obvious route for me would be to cycle/camp from Caen to La Rochelle on the 'Le Vello Francette.'
At the moment I'm also thinking about the possibility of taking my car, parking it and then hiking a long circular route? If anyone can recommend one (and a safe parking slot) I'd be very interested. The choice of GR routes on
www.gr-infos. com which I normally use to decide is a bit mind-boggling, there is just so much choice.
I've always wanted to canoe camp but have never learned to swim, but it's still an option, even though my wife says it isn't! Some of the rivers I've walked alongside in France always look so great. This could be a car option trip as well.
Oh well, something to get my teeth into over the Bank Holiday weekend.
