The GR5 was my first long distance walk. I originally planned to walk from Lake Geneva/Leman through the Alps to Nice. Various blogs suggested it was a good idea to be fit before tackling the Alps, and that this could be achieved by starting on the North Sea coast at Hook of Holland. As I had the time, I decided to do this. Unfortunately, Christine was recovering from a broken foot, so I walked by myself.
The elevation profile may not be absolute, but each day is correct relatively.
Days will reappear as I rebuild my website.
