Refuge holiday
 
Anyone done one?

If you have no idea what I am on about you can see one (little hut) in this pic I took when in Andorra (you can do a where's Wally to find it!! :D).

I think it might be fun going on holiday with nothing but a sleeping bag, compass, a map, a refillable water container and some dehydrated food ... plotting your way between refuges!!! 8)

I did enough of that **** in Belize carrying an SLR and a bit more than what you described, tyvm. When I go on holiday I expect nothing but absolute luxury.

My friends did the GR20 in Corsica. Despite being committed hill walkers and mountaineers they had to evac the route when Louise's knee gave out. As Sara said, sounds like hard work to me.

I only go on holidays where you 'do' stuff ... I can't think of anything more boring than sitting on a beach all day or simply going out and getting p1ssed and then sleeping it off all day ... I can do the latter in the UK ...

I know what you mean. I went for a 3 mile run this morning before work, felt much less guilty about having pie and custard at lunchtime :D

Indeed ... I just finished troughing a whole packet of 'chocolate eclaires' ... but bearing in mind I started the packet as soon as I got back from the gym, its all fine :smt005

p.s. you are right ... a morning workout is also the best 'smugness' thing anyone can ever do ... for smugness factor, the earlier you do it the better ... 5am is the best :D
