The final stretch! 🎉 After weeks on the GR10, these last days carried me through the Pyrenees to the finish line — tired legs, full heart, and plenty of memories.

Closing in on the end, but the adventure is far from over. These days brought some of the toughest climbs and most rewarding moments 🌄.

With more than half the trail behind me, the Pyrenees still had plenty to throw my way. 🥾 Here’s what these days looked like out on the GR10.

The middle of the journey — and the mountains aren’t letting up! ⛰️ From valleys to passes, this section captures the heart of long-distance trekking.

By now the GR10 rhythm is set: big climbs, rewarding views, and the daily push forward 🏞️. These days show both the challenges and the beauty of the Pyrenees.

The trail gets real! Steeper climbs, wilder weather 🌦️, and the growing sense of life on the GR10 — here’s how the next stretch unfolded.

From August to September, I spent 37 days trekking the GR10 🥾 across the French Pyrenees 🇫🇷. It was a tough but rewarding trek, filled with long climbs ⛰️, quiet valleys 🌿, and the steady rhythm of trail life.

In this episode, we catch up with Tiphaine Muller, the intrepid French adventurer who continues to push her boundaries through long-distance cycling and remote, high-altitude trekking. Now 31 and based in Chamonix, France, Tiphaine has spent the last decade traveling the world by bike, exploring five continents. Her latest journey saw her pedaling from the Alps to the Himalayas before tackling one of the toughest and most remote treks on earth: The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT)

🌟 By Day 7, I was deep into the rhythm of the GR20 — tired legs, early starts, and incredible mountain views that made it all worthwhile. This stretch brought tougher terrain, wild weather, and some unforgettable moments. Here’s the breakdown of my stats and experiences from Days 7 to 10. Let’s keep going! 🗺️⏱️🌟

In 2014, I sat down to write my very first blog post. I was still trying to piece together who I was and what I wanted my life to become. I’d left my banking job in 2013, taken a “gap year” to travel, explore, and breathe — but eventually, the big questions found me again. What am I doing? Where am I going? What do I want my life to be? Tough Girl Challenges was born out of that space of uncertainty, curiosity, and deep desire for change.
