Back to the Pyrénées for a Grand Raid

In two weeks time I shall be heading back to the Pyrénées for a little escapade in the Haute Pyrénées. I managed to secure an entry into the Grand Raid Pyrénées - just the short version, a mere 80km. a clubmate of mine is tackling the 160km version. Both events start from Vieille Aure with mine summiting Pic du Midi roughly half way round. I hope to complete in about 18 hours : the winner takes under 10 hours and the limit is 26 hours.
The race website is here.
Here are a few video links of the race:
