In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal episodes
- HexaTrek day 15 : cool coffee spot and a slow dayI really don't like going fast, i guess I'm not Pomalo for no reason. Today i proved it again by enjoying totally a half day on the trail, and sleeping in a real refuge5 min
- HexaTrek day 14 : a shorter day filled with encountersI thought i could go for the 37 km, but apparently the HT doesn't let me and throws at me many interesting people that seriously stop my attempts! And i won't complain :D7 min
- HexaTrek day 13 : bad mood but good castlesNot everyday is a piece of cake, some days you just... Can't. And that day was like that despite the beautiful castles I could visit.5 min
- HexaTrek day 12 : the blank stateCastles are getting prettier, but I realize with shock that nothing shocking is on my mind. A blank state I wasn't ready for!5 min
- HexaTrek day 11 : a half day baking in the vineyard and almost losing the cameraToday i enjoyed a bed a little longer than usual, as it was a real bed, and I almost lost my camera which forced me to run back a kilometer or two on the trail. Could have been worse!6 min
- HexaTrek day 10 : day off in Barr, shower and laundryNot much to say, i finally rested in a camping spot, took a shower, cleaned my clothes before staining them again 30 min after, and got hosted in a couchsurf place! Good day really :)6 min
- HexaTrek day 9 : "alors, on attends pas Patrick?" (French camping meme)Longest day yet! 26 km with many mistakes, a will to cover a lot of ground but too many temptations on the way got the best of me. I still managed to reach my goal but beyond tiredness. My feet are amazing in the morning, destroyed at night. And i had a pizza. And. A. Shower!7 min
- HexaTrek day 8 : the mean pheasant attack!After a lovely day of walking, a beer with Gerald, here i am minding my own business when a pheasant attacked! I fought for my life and managed to keep the territory, but I'm afraid he will want vengeance tonight7 min
- HexaTrek day 7 : the aggressive munster sandwich and the impressive GeraldTrying to forget my own smell and my feet turning into bloody mess, i continue on the Vosges to more mountainous terrain! Got some passive aggressive trail magic and helped a lost older hiker with whom I bivouac at night. And this guy is impressive7 min
- HexaTrek day 6 : up and down on the mindAs the hills turn into mountains, the steep terrain makes my body overheat, and my brain being enclosed on it i overthink. And this up and down physically can be felt mentally. Anyway this was recorded from a gorgeous little refuge on the mountains of Les Vosges, with a chimney!6 min
About In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal
From the publisher's feed
Hi, I'm Cartapouille, a bored french guy who has co-created and hiked the HexaTrek, 3000km to cross France through the mountains in 2022. I previously thru hiked the Via Adriatica in 2020. I also finished a small hike on the French Pyrenees following the GR10 for 150km. Each hike is a separate podcast season here.
Season 1 : Via Adriatica, Season 2: GR10, Season 3 : HexaTrek. Season 4: TransCaucasian Trail scouting
This is a daily short log to reassure my friends and family that I didn't die eaten by a bear or got blown up by a landmine.
