206) The 4 Days B4 the GR5!
I left Toronto in the early afternoon of Saturday, June 29th, 2024 to board a plane for Dublin where I had a one-hour layover with a connecting flight to Geneva. The flight to Dublin was delayed and therefore I missed the connecting flight to Geneva. The airline put me up in a hotel and paid for three meals, so I stayed the night in the Dublin hotel, but did not venture into the city at all. The next day, I tried to board the airplane to Geneva, but they had mistakenly given me a ticket for July 1st, 2025, instead of 2024. They quickly rebooked me, but the only available flight was to Paris with a connecting flight to Geneva. So off to Paris I went, and three hours later, I boarded my connecting flight to Geneva. Finally, FINALLY, 48 hours after leaving Toronto, I arrived in Geneva. Benoit, if you remember my funny friend from the GR10, was there to pick me up. We drove to his family’s summer home in the tiny ski town of Bernex, France. Véronique, also from the GR10, was there, as well. The three of us enjoyed the last of the three planned evenings together. It was wonderful to see my two friends! The next morning, Tuesday, July 2nd, I got on a train went back to the Geneva airport to pick up my lost-but-now-found luggage…the luggage being my beloved and much-needed backpack! Once reunited with “the boyfriend,” a.k.a. my backpack, I got on a train to Lausanne, Switzerland to board the famous, historic and beautiful ferry to cross Lake Léman to the small coastal village of St-Gingolohe, which is half in Switzerland and half in France. I stayed in a tiny and charming hotel on the France side, the only hotel there, which luckily had availability for me. There, I enjoyed a night of calmness and quiet after days of whirlwind events up to that point. The next day, Wednesday, July 3rd, I will begin the GR5.

On Saturday, June 8th, 2024, I set out in a light rain under gray skies to hike 10.4 KMS to Panther Lake, a beautiful little nook in the backcountry where I’d never been before. I loved the soothing sounds of the soft rain pitter-pattering on the tree cover, which mostly protected me. My spot was beautiful and I enjoyed two brand new meals, some new gear, a long nap, a raging fire, the spring p...

On Friday, May 10th, 2024, myself, a friend and his sweet dog drove to Algonquin Park for two nights a front country camping on Tea Lake. Our goal was to hike as many of the 15 day hikes found along Algonquins’s Highway 60 Corridor as possible. We hiked seven: Track and Tower, Hardwood Lookout, Centennial Ridges, Hemlock Bluff, Bat Lake, Peck Lake and Whiskey Rapids. This made a total of 31.6 K...

Hello Christina, it was nice to meet you on this short part of your fantastic journey! Kisses from Bob
I'll bet that you are more than ready to get out onto the nice quiet trail. It looks like you are starting off on a pretty busy and hectic pace. Let's get out there on that trail where you will be in your comfort zone. See you then on your next video. Thanks for sharing your time with us. It's always appreciated.
No better way to build family memories than a good old fashioned camping trip into the outdoors. I just returned from an eight 8 camping trip at a large and busy campground on the Oregon coast. I usually try to stay away from the busy areas but once in a while I love to spend some time surrounded by the happy families out enjoying the fresh air and nature. I especially enjoy seeing the families assembled with grand parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all out together having a great time. And when I returned I find that you have decided to go out and have a little family fun "get together" out in the woods with family yourself. Very well done Christina, the memories that you build on these will provide you with many happy thoughts the rest of your life and we all surely need these in our lives. Great video, thank you and I will see you on the next one as I catch up on missed videos while I was away.
Nice intro...Wishing you the most exciting adventure Were all with you in spirit and excitement. ENJOY
@@user-yy1jj8yu1i I love you, Daddy! Just finished day three! It’s stunning but tough! LOVE YOU LOTS! ❤️❤️❤️
10a is my favorite site in the whole park. Best for foraging wood for firewood back there. Great video.
@@rdman2wo Thanks! I love that you are an advocate for non-ultralight backpacking. Me, too! I’m on the GR5 right now. My backpack is 33lbs!
nicely framed shots, good editing, nice legs, overall great video... Brava!
Well, you made it! I hope you have a lot of fun on this trip. Can't wait to see it. Cheers!
Quelle belle mise en bouche! Trop hâte de voir tes images. J’ai vu plusieurs vidéos de cette traversée par d’autres youtubeurs. C’est le paradis de la longue randonnée. J’espère y aller avant d’être trop âgée. Tellement excitant!
Bonne chance

Début très prometteur, j'ai bien hâte de voir la suite. 😊
I used to fly quite a bit for work and a fair amount for personal reasons - quite a few years ago. Although there were always some issues w/delays, it seems a lot worse these days. Glad you got thru that! Question, are you able to store your non-backpack luggage someplace? Great video - enjoyed seeing those beautiful areas. Have fun on your adventure :)
Hi Christina Have a wonderful & amazing time hiking on the GR5. You can easily beat those steep mountains. You might see all kind of animals up there. Be save. Cheers! Lucia ""Hiking Nature's Beauty "

Sorry for the double post 😮
OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! 😱 I’m sooooooo excited! I am so sorry you had to go thru so much “rigamarole” (as some once messaged me 😂) but you are so resilient! The poor boyfriend, so abused! The scenery is already amazing 🤩 I never had a desire to visit France 🇫🇷 until your GR10 vids last summer and now this, just makes me want to even more. When you showed the little GR5 my heart went skippity skip! It’s REAL! It’s HAPPENING!!! Oh, and thru these last couple of vids you’re making me feel like a celeb! Have FUN! Be SAFE! Oh, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the music, too! Is there anything that you can’t do? Au Revoir for now! Oh, the shots of the boyfriend being sucked up in to the bowels of the airports, who knew how telling those shots would end up being!!!!
@@20657parks I thought the same thing about those shots, although I always film it being carried off into the bowels of baggage land. In those moments, he is not “The Boyfriend” but “Mon Cowboy.” Bye bye, mon cowboy… (Do you know the song?)

Nice video. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing. 👍22
You are simply fantastic, your energy is just unmatched! Stay safe 👏👏👏
Enjoy!
I'm so excited to watch and for you!! I'm so proud of you. Have a wonderful time.
Oh man, that shot of your pack disappearing into the bowels of the airport triggered my lost-pack anxiety disorder. Every. Single. Time. I fly. So far my pack has been delayed three times. Thankfully, always when I was back from a trail. BTW, I always place my pack in one of those cheap, light duffle bags, so nothing gets ripped or broken. Fantastic editing! Can't wait for the 1st episode.
So nice! So jealous lol. Geneva is on my bucket list. Sounds like an amazing trip! Have an amazing time❤
Thanks for the update be safe
Hi Miss Christina! Awesome intro to the gr5! Looking forward to this series! Stay safe and god bless you on this adventure!
Looks like the weather is ideal, so long as it doesn't translate into rain. Language should be np for you too😂.
Wonderful upload here my good friend enjoyed this All the best stay safe and healthy have a great week 👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗

Fun video! Kinda felt sorry for the frog - poor thing went thru a bit of torture there, ha.
A little, yeah! It was released in working order back into its natural habitat in the end! Great to hear from you, Dora! 🥰✌🏼
