I know there are a number of you round here who are just as keen on the

I'm taking my family camping in the Pyrenees in a couple of weeks time
(wife, 12yo boy and 9 month girl). It's the first time any of us have been
there, and I've been surprised about how little coherent information there
is on it. It's usually either in Spanish, or of the "look at the great
holiday that we had" type of site (if you know what I mean), both of which
are pretty useless if you're trying to work out practicalities.

So, yes - a great idea. Also, I'm willing to provide content (text or
holiday snaps), if that is useful.

I'd be happy to contribute what I can - photos, GPS waypoints, etc and
some ideas on places to use as a base or stopover during a traverse
etc.

If I can help I will.

I have an apartment in that area, which is used by walkers
(particularly outside of July/Aug when it is too hot !) and groups
with a mixture of wants.

I could probably provide pointers / uploads for bus schedules / train
schedules etc.
Have you ever done the Canigou race (walkers and runners separate)?
First Sunday of August I think.
