Day 41 – Grand Finale du HRP

Today I walked 25km to the Eastern terminus of the HRP, the beach at Banyuls-sur-mer. The photos tell the story.

Very excited sunrise wakeup.
Looking back at the Canigou
North towards Perpignan
A finale on a grassy panoramic ridgewalk. I can get down with that
The sea, reflecting sunlight into the aperture of a tiny camera retina

It’s (almost) all downhill from here

The Cote d’Azur

Just a few more hills…

I can taste the sea mist
Half a mile?!
I stop for no one.
The home stretch

It is done

The end of the HRP. 41 days, 550 miles, 310,000 feet of ascent and descent. Thousands of photos. At least a million footsteps. Maybe about $1,500 spent on food and lodging. At least a dozen glacial remains seen.
