In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal

In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal

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. Insta: @cartapouille

Greetings!


Well it's been a long time, and this podcast is somehow still being listened to, despite not being active. Time to change that, a new season is coming! Discover where and how in this episode.


I had to find a spot in nature in Belgium to record that one really under my tent, not an easy feat! and sorry for the sound quality, I lost my habits and ate the microphone.


See you for the next episode in Georgia!

This is it, after 154 days on the trail I crossed France by foot. I know many of you will discover this podcast with this episode, but it's not representative. Anyway who cares, that's done

A very very long episode (sorry) about that last bivouac night. Coming back on a lot of things that happened in the past months. Hence the length

After an amazing evening by myself and a view on the ocean, I have the annoying surprise to have other campers arriving at the last moment while I recorded

Sickness seem to be leaving me alone and other stuff like walking and hiking you know
Mark as Played
What a day! My body is giving up on me, I'm getting sick and I didn't take enough care going down and injured my knee again, but brutally. Although I saw the ocean and it was quite a show!

In a cold rainy dark forest I almost had to setup on mud while I hear the horny bucks yelling in a distance

When everything is foggy, wet and cold, a non marked unguarded cabin feels like heaven. Even when it's invaded shortly after arrival by three other soaking wet hikers

Life turned insanely comfortable tonight as my three best friends in Brussels surprised me with a free night in a hotel and a meal in a restaurant from a distance. Just lovely

Today is my birthday, it started terribly but ended way better than expected. And that was needed

Sometimes you hate something for almost no reason, everything should be amazing but hate gets in the way. Like procedurally generated content

Years after my attempt at a bit of the GR10, I'm remembering a town where I had some last memories with my grandfather

Bad luck happened with the lost of Simon who had to go faster, but good luck with Franck offering me a place to stay for the night . And a shower!

Finally I could see the lake! I missed it last year and this time could sleep next to it, fiou!

I'm using more and more the sentence "well it's almost over anyway" but I'm just jumping the gun really

After a stretch that I knew but in reverse, a series of coincidences made me go for an early meaty celebration
