Imagine yourself, in the heart of the Corsican mountains, on one of the most legendary trails in Europe: the GR20. A dream come true for any trail runner. After years of listening to the passionate stories of my Corsican friends, it was finally time for me to set foot on this legendary land. But not just anyhow. My challenge? To complete this journey in just 4 days, and in total autonomy! No hotels, no beds in refuges, no assistance, no restaurants. Just my backpack and nature. Everything I needed was on my shoulders for four days: tent, mattress, sleeping bag, food, stove, electronics and safety equipment. My only supplies? The water sources that dot this rugged trail. From the first day, the weight of the bag was felt, making each step heavier, each climb more arduous. I had underestimated the difficulty of this route already known for its harshness. The landscapes were breathtaking, but the effort to reach them was worth the challenge. Corsica is not easily conquered, especially not with an overloaded bag. So, will I succeed in completing the GR20 in 4 days in total autonomy? Join me in this new adventure, where each day brings its share of challenges and discoveries. This project is offered to you in partnership with i-Run. 00:00 Introduction 01:18 Day 1 departure Calenzana 11:05 Day 2 departure Col de Vergio 17:42 Day 3 departure Vizzavona 23:30 Day 4 departure Matalza 29:30 Conclusion ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Producer & Director: Mathieu Blanchard Cameraman & Editor: Anthony Deroeux (who still did 90km and 5000mD+ for all these beautiful images) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ©️ Thanks Main partner: @irunteam Thumbnail: Julien Berto -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You like the content❓️ You can support our work by: ❤️ Subscribing: / @mathieu_blanchard ????
