At the end of October, a cold black north wind rises over the Gironde and urges me to flee eastward in search of, I hope, a patch of blue sky and carpets of yellow leaves. From the volcanic plateaus of the Cantal to the winding gorges of the Vercors, by way of the vast grassy expanses of the Aubrac, this improvised journey should put my perseverance to the test. But I have no doubt it will be worth the effort.
2023 will be the year of the NorthCape4000. An adventure that sends me across the roads of Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and of course Norway, the final point of this extraordinary 4,000 km journey.
My goal? 280 km per day on average, with the journey ending by August 8th at the latest.
The big adventure of summer 2022! First, I plan to head up through England, Wales and finally Scotland to discover the Highlands and the mysterious Lochs. A short boat trip should then take me to Ireland, to explore the vast and magical west coast of the country.
Taking advantage of a three-day weekend, I set off to tackle the gorges of the Quercy and the mountains of the Cantal, for an adventure that was certainly exhausting, but rich in breathtaking landscapes.
