  • The Pyrenees
    The Pyrenees A Greentours Holiday for the Alpine Garden Society 10th to 23rd June 2011 Led by Paul Cardy Trip Report and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Friday 10 th June Arrival and Transfer to Formigueres Having driven from the south western Alps and reached Carcassonne the previous evening, I continued to Toulouse to meet the group at the airport. I was unexpectedly delayed by French customs who stopped me at the toll booth entering the city. There followed a lengthy questioning, as I had to unpack the contents of my suspiciously empty Italian mini-bus and show them my two large boxes of books, suitcase full of clothes, picnic supplies, etc., to convince them my purpose was a botanical tour to the Pyrenees. Now a little late I arrived breathlessly at Toulouse airport and rushed to the gate to meet Margaret, and the New Zealand contingent of Chris, Monica, Archie and Lynsie, hurriedly explaining the delay. Anyway we were soon back on the motorway and heading south towards Foix. White Storks in a field on route was a surprise. We made a picnic stop at a functional aire where there were tables, and a selection of weedy plants. Black Kite soared overhead. Once past Foix and Ax-les- Thermes the scenery became ever more interesting as we wound our way up to a misty Col de Puymorens. There a short stop yielded Pulsatilla vernalis in fruit and Trumpet Gentians. Roadside cliffs had Rock Soapwort, Saxifraga paniculata , and Elder-flowered Orchids became numerous. Now in the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Catalanes, a fascinating route down into the valley took us through Saillagouse and Mont-Louis before heading up a minor road to the village of Formigueres, our base for the first three nights.

  • Cr Haute Route 2017
    Haute Route des Pyrénées du 13 au 19 août 2017 Après une première expérience enthousiasmante en 2015, j’ai eu la chance de participer à nouveau à la Haute Route des Pyrénées en bénéficiant d’une des invitations données aux villes étapes par l’organisation. Nous étions 270 au départ venant de plus de 30 pays différents dont seulement une quarantaine de français. Sept étapes nous menaient d’Anglet à Toulouse par un parcours de 900 km et près de 20 000 mètres de dénivelé. Des coureurs de tous niveaux étaient au départ avec des objectifs très variés, certains visant le podium, d’autres comme moi souhaitant simplement faire le maximum pour terminer toutes les étapes dans les délais. 1ère étape : Anglet –Oloron Sainte-Marie (174 km et 3800 m D+) 192 ème en 8h10 – 7émé de la catégorie +60 ans Après un départ très romantique au lever du jour sur la place d’Anglet face à l’Océan, le parcours empruntait la route des Crêtes et ses nombreuses côtes très éprouvantes. Je suis resté dans un groupe d’une vingtaine de coureurs jusqu’à Saint-Jean le Vieux au km 70 où nous avions déjà 1200 mètres de dénivelé au compteur avant d’attaquer le col de Burdincurutcheta (1135 m, 9km à 9% de moyenne) dont les quatre premiers kilomètres à plus de 11% de moyenne sont redoutables. Dès les premiers hectomètres dans une atmosphère chaude et humide, j’ai ressenti un manque de force et des difficultés à respirer, peut-être un début d’hypoglycémie. J’ai été obligé de m’arrêter plusieurs fois, me demandant si j’allais pouvoir continuer.
