The End of an Epic Journey Across France - Hexatrek 31

[@LaurenRoerick]

This was such a fun adventure! To prepare for your own thru-hike, you can download my Guidebook here: www.laurenroerick.com/store/p/hiking-the-hexatrek-the-complete-guide

[@LaurenRoerick]

What a trip! Thanks for coming along for the ride!!! ❤

[@milupaoutdoor]

Thank you for all the hours we were allowed to be part of your journey. I was always looking forward to the next episode and now I'm a little sad that it's over. Thanks to your videos, I decided to hike the Hexatrek next year. Best regards, Andreas from the channel “Milupa Outdoor”

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the series 😄 it was my pleasure. I’m so happy you’re looking to do the hexatrek! It’s really incredible

[@lacpas1712]

Toutes mes félicitations, et merci d'avoir partagé cette belle aventure 👍👍👍

[@LaurenRoerick]

Merci beaucoup!! 😊

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Very cool! Hard to believe it was over 4 months ago. Time flies, whether you're having fun or not! LOL And now you're several hundred kilometers into hiking the length of New Zealand on Te Araroa (The Long Pathway). Everybody watch for videos of that! I had to laugh when you were complaining about the "muddy" trail near the beginning of this video, since I have seen the muddiness of the Te Araroa. It's all relative, am I right! Congrats on this one and keep it up on the new one! Love you! And to anyone reading this comment, get out there, get her book, and get hiking! You can thank her later.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Hahha I had no clue what I was in for as far as mud when I went through that stretch 😅 now I know haha. Thanks for always watching ☺️

[@tanioraaura1274]

standing ovation , Congratulations from here NZ. Watching your video trekking, the hexatrek is like reading the best novel i have ever read. There's not another Jean M Aurl, out there, Lauren Roerick your a brilliant woman, this has been a series of amazing eye pleasures.😊 and music to my ears Thank you

[@LaurenRoerick]

Wow, thanks so much! ☺️

[@andrealeclerc6406]

Hey Lauren ! Andreya here from Québec, living in France (Cévennes 😊) since 2011. I've been following you on your magnificent journey from episode 1 tll this last one, and I must say that lil tears brightened my eyes as I could see you reach the ocean. Brave, ressourcefull, luminous woman you are, and as I will begin the Hexatrek in may of this year, all by myself, your adventure gave me some more self confidence about attempting such a mission ( especially the Pyrennees part which will be a totally new experience for me ) . Your filming and narrative content is of great quality and I send you a huge load of grattitude for this amazing job you've done. So inspiring and positive, also very important for the trek community. I wish you the very best for what comes next. Maybe I'll then be the first Quebecois woman to have the chance to experience such an adventure. Bisous darling, xxx Andreya.

[@LaurenRoerick]

I looooove hearing that! Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so excited for you to hike this yourself, it’s truly incredible! ☺️

[@nancypeast]

Bravo!! What a gift it was to follow along your trek vicariously! I listened to your episode on Backpacker Radio and couldn't wait to watch this series. You have such a lovely aura about you, Lauren. I have a daughter heading off to college this fall, and I hope she'll watch some of your videos at my suggestion. She'll undoubtedly be inspired by your courage, sense of adventure, positive mental attitude, and kindness. I purchased your guidebook in hopes of hiking the Hexatrek in the next few years. Happy trails and I can't wait to follow along with your future adventures! ❤

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series and the episode on BPR :) I really appreciate the support and kind words- I hope your daughter has an amazing time away at college! ☺️

[@lanajohnson7073]

Spectacular!!! What an amazing accomplishment. So much beauty to hold in your heart forever! Love you - you amaze me!!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! 🙏🏼💜

[@anninwhack1998]

What a beautiful finish to your hike. That white dog was just adorable! Thanks for doing all the videos and the guide. You are an inspiration. I am definitely planning on doing at least one section in a few years. Thx!!!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks for watching! I hope you get out and do it! It’s my favourite long hike so far

[@danrichardson4623]

Incredible Incredible Incredible. Thank you Lauren for sharing this amazing journey. Your talent and passion are above and beyond and were shining bright in every episode. This finish was chilling. Congratulations! 👏🎉✨💛

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you so much!! Loved sharing this trip! And thanks so much for the encouragement along the way ☺️

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Congratulations on finishing the trail! 🎉😊 The bridge over the cannon just looked amazing! Saint-Jean-pied-de-Port was fun to see again. As you know I came through there in beginning of October. I always had a late start because it got light very late. By the time I reached Santiago it was almost 9 before you could see where you were going. Rushing isn't always good, don't forget to enjoy for sure! A thru-hike is sure a life changing experience! It was fun to follow you! I don't often follow someone on KZbin like that. Usually don't have the time to do so. But I guess you know all about that! Have a great Sunday! Kaat

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I’m so glad you followed along :) it was always lovely to hear from you.

Yo! We walked the last 3 days of the trail after we bailed while visiting friends near Hendaye, was great to see that part of the trail again. Another brillaint video. Maybe catch up when you pop over to Wellington. L8rs!

Congratulations on being the first North American woman to finish Hexatrek Lauren! You did a phenomenal job in not only accomplishing that but being able to produce this beautiful series at the same time. I love your work, happy for you, but really sad to see this end. Is it too early to ask, when and where is the next adventure?

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you so much!! It’s a fun way for me to remember how I was feeling and what I really did out there :) (as for next adventures, I’m working on it right now haha- I’ll post about it soon!)

[@philippegalifier7423]

Hey hey Bonjour Lauren !!!!!!😊 You did it !!! SO GOOD, what an adventure in real life!!! 3034 km 😊💪🍾

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you!! 😁 such an amazing adventure

[@charltor6]

Congrats. An amazing accomplishment. Thanks for taking us along.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@chickenrunpeynier]

Bonjour Lauren, BRAVO et MERCI !!! Quelle aventure tu as vécu et tu nous as partagé 🤩😍 Je commente en français pour te faire travailler le tien 😉 Toutes tes vidéo sont d’une excellente qualité : image, musique, histoire…. Au top ! C’était vraiment un plaisir de suivre tout ces épisodes. En plus, tu as eu une très bonne météo sur l’ensemble de ton parcours. Incroyable, cette météo dans les Pyrénées 😮 Avec ma femme, cela nous a donné envie de refaire de la randonnée et surtout de découvrir l’approche « true hiking ». On fait du trail running sur des distances de plus en plus longues (80 - 100 km), donc l’aspect léger nous est familier mais de pouvoir prendre plus de temps pour vivre ces moments en nature… WOUAH ! Your trip was AMAZING, THANKS AGAIN ! 👏👏👏 David

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :) Trail running is so impressive, I haven’t gotten into that yet! Enjoy your time in the mountains 🏔️

[@jono.young05]

Congratulations Lauren, i think we all felt every step you took. Sad in a way, that your adventure has reached the end. But... boy did i laugh when you went running in too the sea, you have hikers feet haha, lots of tan on those legs and none on your ankles and feet, it looked like you had socks on 🤣🤣 Then at the end, still ROCKING those hiker shorts, dam i would have warn them on the plane, just for giggles.

[@LaurenRoerick]

That hiker tan lasted for months!! Hahha it looks ridiculous😂 so glad you enjoyed following along :) (there’s more coming very soon!)
