This is a day journal of my June 2006 hike on the GR20 in Corsica. Primarily, I created this journal to help me remember the trip, but if you're reading this (and the rest) I hope it's of some interest.

I actually wrote this in January 2008, but have backdated the entries to fall on the corresponding days.

Interesting Links

  • Vallecime -- friendly and knowledgeable guides. Hike the nicest parts of the GR20 and other trails during the day, stay in posh accomodations at night.
  • Cicerone -- must-have English language guide book. Many other hikers carried this GR20 guide, which is detailed and accurate.
  • Corsica for Hikers -- excellent web resource. I wish this site existed when I was planning my hike. It's really got everything.
