See Appendix C for a list of weather related websites to visit for forecasts, weather warnings and advice.

Getting there and back

Access to the GR10 will be by car, coach, train or plane. Useful websites are given in Appendix C.

Car

You could drive down through France or take the car ferry from Portsmouth or Plymouth to Bilbao or Santander in northern Spain. It will be much safer to leave your car in the mountains and then take the train to Hendaye to start your walk rather than leave your car unattended for long periods in popular seaside resorts.

Coach

It is possible to reach the Pyrenees by overnight coach from London (Victoria Coach Station). National Express run links to London and then FlixBus run coaches throughout Europe. The most convenient destination for those walking the GR10 is Irún (in Spain). FlixBus also operate services to Bayonne, Orthez, Pau, Tarbes, Saint-Gaudens, Toulouse and Perpignan.

Rail and bus

Paris can be reached by Eurostar. From there SNCF run high speed trains to a variety of destinations including Hendaye, Toulouse and Perpignan. The main west–east line joins Hendaye, Bayonne, Pau, Lourdes, Tarbes, Toulouse and Perpignan.
