In his own words:
What a fantastic week!
Having walked mainly in England, I maybe
underestimated the 'Challenge' part of the Pic Carlit Challenge. Four
days walking and four nights wild camping (my choice). Wow! But it was
worth each single drop of sweat and every aching muscle.
Thanks Paul for your magnificent leadership. Your comprehensive
knowledge of the area, not only in respect of the navigation but also
the flora and fauna, was impressive. It was great that your itinerary was so flexible, even providing opportunities for some extra peak bagging.
Your
extraordinary patience, without being patronising, certainly inspired
me to achieve more than I thought I was capable of. It was really easy
to get on with you. You were sociable but instinctively knew when I
needed space to myself. It was an experience that will remain with me always.
Good luck for future expeditions.

Steve chose to complete the 4 day trek with wild camps (carrying all his food, stove and fuel, tent and sleeping bag) but the option exists to stay in mountain huts each night meaning a less heavy rucksack.
