JU-SI Adventures

Our Passion is Distance Walking. In doing so, we have discovered wonderful communities,
met amazing people and created a better life-balance for ourselves.

Summer 2023 Adventure #1
The Pyrenees on the GR10

The itinerary for the GR10 in France is completed and we are heading there the third week of May. This ~900km long path follows the Pyrenees Mountains. It roughly parallels the French–Spanish border on the French side. The timing is likely to be from late May to early July 2023. It has been on our bucket list for a while. More detail HERE

Summer 2023 Adventure #2
The Trans Canada Trail

We are getting back on the Trans Canada Trail - YEAH !! After three years of delay (COVID and other priorities) we will hit the TCT in the Prairies. It will be a late start given our scheduled thru-hike in Europe - 'the GR10, Pyrénées crossing. We will likely be boarding the VIA Train for Winnipeg close to the end of July. This will give us over two months of walking, likely hiking Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and whatever we can accomplish of Alberta before winter sets in.

We continue our partnership with the TCT organization as a TCT Trail Pathfinder.

Our Approach to Planning

Our process has evolved through the years. It involves combing through a series of factors to help build a thorough plan. Starting with Trail Knowledge, we create an itinerary. We then remove obstacles for the trek, select Equipment, design a Nutrition Plan, and lastly adopt a Fitness Routine. This in-depth approach gives us the best chance to successfully accomplish our adventure.
