Ep4 The GR20: Before You Go
-

There is a trail in Corsica that begins at the edge of a village and ends, one hundred and eighty kilometers later, at the door of another one.
The GR20 is consistently ranked among the most difficult long-distance trails in Europe. Every year roughly ten thousand people attempt it. Roughly half finish. This episode is everything that happens before Calenzana -- the fitness preparation most people underestimate, the gear decisions that actually matter (trail shoes versus boots, pack weight, sleeping system), how the refuge booking system works and when to book, water management on the high route, and the mental model that separates the people who finish from the people who don't.
You leave with: a realistic preparation timeline, a clear gear framework, an understanding of the refuge booking platform at pnr-resa.corsica, the north-to-south versus south-to-north question answered, and an honest account of what the trail will ask of you before it gives anything back.
Part one of two. Episode five covers the route itself, stage by stage.
In the Maquis -- stories from wild places that teach you something before you go.
