Excerpt from Through the High Pyrenees: With Illustrations and Supplementary Sections This volume is the fruit of two holidays spent by us in the more remote parts of the French and Spanish Pyrenees and in the Republic of Andorra in the summers of 1896 and 1897. The division of labour between us in the production of the hook is stated on the title-page, and it only needs to he added here that while we have consulted together regarding all parts of the work, each of us is solely responsible for those parts which bear his name. The wild and beautiful district which we have attempted to describe and illustrate has lately been strangely neglected by British tourists and climbers. When two years ago we first turned our attention to the Pyrenees we found few who could give us any detailed information or advice. Packe's "Guide" was out of print, and it was only after some trouble that we succeeded in obtaining a secondhand copy. Almost at random we planned our first tour, determining vaguely to traverse the chain from east to west, keeping as far as possible in the high mountains throughout.

They catch sight of Carabineers and begin to laugh.) ist Figure. Hullo, Pierre! More visitors? Quite a lot this time. P. (shrugs his shoulders). Yes, and they want to know if you have any papers. (Both figures laugh. Second produces passport, and then, while none are looking, runs for camera and begins to point at Carabineers. Carabineers advance threateningly, protesting loudly in Spanish.) 2nd Figure (pausing in act to snap). What do they say, Pierre? P. They say it is forbidden to photograph in Spain without special permission. I say it is to amuse you that you are doing it for. 2nd Figure. What do they say? P. They say it is forbidden by the Government, and that you may be taking them for other purposes--military, you know. (Carabineers advance to take camera and owners. Owners hurry on garments and begin to get alarmed.) 2nd Figure (decisively). This is preposterous! Tell them that we shall complain of them in London. (Pierre tells them.) P. (interpreting). They say that you have no papers. (Carabineers still advance.) 2nd Figure (happy thought striking him, takes card from case with dramatic gesture, and hands it). Say that if this goes on we shall complain to the Spanish Embassy when we return. (Carabineers look at card, listen to Pierre's voluble translation, and pause, slightly impressed.) ist Figure (following up this success). Quick, show them the other card! (A larger card, with a longer name on it, is produced and shown. The Carabineers, now duly impressed, fall back, talking.) Figures. What do they say? P. They say you must excuse them, that they are only servants of the Government, and do what they are told. Figures...

A resource book covering the finest walks, treks and climbs in the High Pyrenees for 400km between France and Spain, from the Cirque de Lescun, on the edge of the Basque country in the west, to the Carlit massif and the Cerdagne to the east of Andorra. The book is divided into five regional chapters: the Western Valleys; Cirques and Canyons; the Central Pyrenees; Enchanted Mountains; and Andorra and the Eastern High Pyrenees. Intended as a resource book for those planning a range of mountain activities in the Pyrenees, the guide describes each area valley by valley, and provides information on access and accommodation, as well as recommended maps and guidebooks. Unlike a conventional walking book, detailed route descriptions are not included; the guide does, however, direct the reader to the finest walks, treks and climbs in the area and provide an outline of specially selected routes. An extensive introduction gives all the practical advice and information needed for planning a trip. It offers a background to the mountains and their exploration, and provides a snapshot of the range with sections that help the reader focus on specific areas of activity, and suggests where best to exercise that activity.
