Above is the link to the illustrated Trek log for the 2002 Trek

Leaders  Eric Cittanova, Allan Witton, John Willson, Roger Hand, Tim Pattison, Steve Williams, Geoff Chandler, Jonathan Coller, Jim Gardner, Dan Farr. The illustrated log contains a full party list.

The Route was an east-west traverse of the High Pyrenees from Bagnères-de-Luchon to Gavarnie, mostly on the Spanish side of the range, finishing with a 4-day circuit through the Brèche de Roland and the Ordesa Canyon as in 1987. The only summit we climbed was le Taillon (3144 m), but we also crossed the 3000 m line at Collado de la Paúl (3057 m). The route divided into five sections between supply points: Bagnères-de-Luchon  > Camping Aneto  >  Viadós >  Héas  > Gavarnie  >  Gavarnie

re: the picture above below the Breche de Roland, I should add that the Spanish police came and told us off for camping there. Mr Chandler tried to charm them but they weren't having any of it.
