Hello everyone. This is my first post, I'm new here...

I am planning to Trek the GR11 route through the Spanish Pyrenees from East to West next year, during the Summer.

I am from the UK. In the past, I have had experience hiking up mountains using footpaths, in Slovenia and in Wales.

I do not have the first clue about what I should be planning equipment wise, all I know is I need to be super fit in order to b able to cover the epic journey within the space of 50 days.

July/August are the months I am planning to hike in.

Can anyone offer any friendly advice as to what I should take with me? I plan to take a tent, so I can camp in the wild & suitable clothing for hot and cold days/nights.

I am not sure how much food to take with me, or whether I should buy it on route..

Also, I wil be filming the journey with my camera equipment and audio equipment. I think I am going to need to lug a rather large backpack around.

Any guidance on this is appreciated. Thanks

It's a very long and hard trekking mate...

Hi Trek
Is this still a current project?

My advise is to trek as light as possible, or make use of the network of huts and accomodations...otherwise it´s a very long trek to make it all in one shift!

Expect all kind of weather, so bring all kind of clothes.
