Shorter Treks in the Pyrenees


Experience the Pyrenees’ ultimate hiking adventures with this comprehensive Cicerone guidebook to seven outstanding circular multi-day routes, each designed for a one- or two-week mountain escape. Stretching over 400km from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees form a spectacular natural border between France and Spain, a dramatic landscape of glaciated granite massifs, limestone peaks, wildflower meadows, and crystal-clear lakes. Ideal for those seeking a balance of adventure and comfort, each featured trek is divided into manageable stages (ranging from 4 to 12), with welcoming accommodation in mountain refuges or traditional villages along the way. Routes range in length from four to twelve days, allowing you to pack big mountain experiences into a single week or enjoy an extended journey through the heart of the Pyrenees. Seven circular treks: the rolling Basque Country (9 stages), the spectacular limestone peaks of Pic du Midi d’Ossau and the Western Pyrenees (8 stages), the high-altitude Tour de Vignemale and La Alta Ruta de Los Perdidos (11 stages), the lake-dotted Réserve Naturelle de Néouvielle (4 stages), the classic Carros de Foc circuit (7 stages), the wild landscapes of the Montagnes d’Ax and Les Pérics (8 stages), and the iconic Catalonian peaks of Puigmal and Canigou (12 stages). Hiking in the Pyrenees is best from July to September, when the high routes are clear of snow, and the meadows are alive with wildflowers, though lower-altitude routes can be tackled from late spring through October. Most stages follow mountain paths in the Pyrenees, with some easy scrambling and boulderfields on the higher traverses, and route descriptions are supported by clear 1:100,000 mapping. All routes are circular, minimising transport logistics and maximising your time amid the dramatic landscapes of the Pyrenees. Accommodation is available at every stage, with options including mountain refuges nestled in the high Pyrenees, charming village inns along the routes, and opportunities for wild camping for those seeking solitude. Each stage includes practical information on access, facilities, recommended maps, and route alternatives for exploring the diverse regions of the Pyrenees, with notes on optional peak-bagging detours for ambitious walkers. The guide features comprehensive advice on planning, preparation, and navigation to help you explore the Pyrenees with confidence. Plan your Pyrenean trekking adventure with this definitive guide to the region’s finest short treks, and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty, rich wildlife, and timeless mountain culture of one of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.

Brian életei


"Ha énekes vagy egy bandában, a zenésztársaid, a stáb, a menedzsment, a kisegítő személyzet, a kiadó és - ami a legfontosabb - a rajongók százezrei mind ki vannak szolgáltatva annak, hogy fel tudsz-e menni a színpadra, és el tudod-e végezni a munkádat, történjen bármi is." BRIAN JOHNSON minden idők egyik legnevesebb hard rock együttese, az ausztrál AC/DC énekeseként vált világhírűvé. II. világháborús veterán, acélgyári munkás apa és olasz anya gyermekeként nőtt fel az észak-angliai munkásvárosban, Gatesheadben. Zenei érdeklődése és tehetsége már korán megmutatkozott, tinédzser korától számos kisebb együttesben énekelt. Karrierjének kezdeti sikereit a 70-es évek elején a Geordie nevű, toplistát is megjárt rockbanda frontembereként aratta, ám életében az igazi, sorsfordító áttörés 1980-ban történt, amikor a legendás Bon Scott tragikus halála után felajánlották neki, hogy csatlakozzon az AC/DC-hez. Első közös albumuk, a Bahamákon fölvett Back in Black földcsuszamlásszerű sikert aratott, mely az évek során 50 millió példányban kelt el világszerte, ezzel kiérdemelve "a valaha készült legnagyobb példányszámban eladott hard rock albumnak" járó címet. A remek elbeszélő Brian Johnson önéletrajzi művében a rá jellemző humorral mutatja be életútját, mely a gyerekkori cserkészéveitől egy hatalmas gyár műszaki gyakornokságán át a zenészi hivatásig vezette.

The Lives of Brian


The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life. The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer. For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band's fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up. It's been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian's kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots. Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice

The Lives of Brian


"It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!" says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC's legendary frontman got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock'n'roll history. The son of a British army sergeant major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life. The choir boy and sea scout was going to be a singer. For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared frequently on TV and toured Europe and Australia with Geordie, yet real success slipped out of reach. Brian had a family to support and a mortgage to pay, so was forced to take a succession of jobs eventually leading to him running his own business. But if fate had a plan for Brian . . . fate didn't stand a chance. Out of the blue, he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's best up-and-coming acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest-selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed-out arenas and Brian was embraced by their fans. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up. Brian has lived many lives within his lifetime, but somehow he's kept his feet on the ground, never losing touch with his roots. Touching, personal, indomitable, but always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the story of one of the world's best-loved performers, told in his own inimitable and unique voice. 'Nine lives, Cat's Eyes. Abusing every one of them, and running wild.'
