At 55, Claire McCall and her partner set off on an epic hiking adventure to attempt four stages of the HexaTrek - a 3034km thru hike in the high mountains of France. This is a frank account of that physical and mental journey: a story of highs and lows, miles and milestones, of once-in-a-lifetimes and never-agains. An awesome tale of climbing peaks, finding fondues, making friends, navigating cranky cows and going the distance in one way or another.
