What an epic hike. I could see Joe getting worse and worse. I'm glad he made the sensible choice. Better to stop short than end up with a mountain rescue. I hope he has recovered or recovering. Was it just too much for his knees or has he torn some cartilage. Looking at how he was walking I'm thinking the latter. Brilliant vlog, hope you are both recovering.

I saw a hiker like that when I did the TMB and it was due to an inflamed IT band. We advised him to max out his pain meds and finish each day by finding a tennis ball sized rock and rolling his hip over it. FYI, it is extremely painful to do but it will release the tension in the tendon and you'll feel better in the long run. He developed the pain day 2 while climbing Col de le Croix du Bonhomme. We didn't speak to him until day 5 and he was ultimately able to finish the hike.

Hey, love the video and your enthusiasm. We’re planning this for next September but there’s some disagreement on whether we can do the whole Tour in 7 days. From the info we’ve found it looks like it’s broken down into 11 sections. Is it easy to link them up or are they all up and down so you’d end up climbing on every section? Watching the film again for some answers. All the best.
@DavidPMcEntee Жыл бұрын
