RE: I'm looking to go hiking in the South of France for about 5-6 days in May and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the best places to go. I don't want to do any climbing but enjoy some scrambles and technical walks (think sharp edge/striding edge etc). I'm in pretty good shape and will be looking to wild camp most nights if possible.Thanks for any help - Rob
Hi Guys,
Just back from hiking in Le Midi so here goes - and my first posting here!
I don't know about wild camping as such things are not easy for a girlie to do all alone! However, I'd thoroughly recommend part of the Stevenson Trail. I did the 'Best of' with The Enlightened Traveller. Here's trhe link:

I actually met some US hikers who were camping and who'd also booked via The Enlightened Traveller. They wanted to copy RL Stevenson - not my cuppa tea, though!
I might try Mercantour myself in 2010, but would need some nice welcoming hotels - did you see any on your trip, Rob? Any feedback greatly appreciated as I want to get reading and booking.
Cheers!
