VERSIONE ITALIANA A QUESTO LINK: vimeo.com/15176588

This is a 55 minute documentary-film of my experience on the northern section of the GR 20 (Corsica) I did back in July 2010 with a couple of friends.
If you care to watch it to the end, you will (hopefully) share our same emotions and will get the distinct impression of what this trek is about.
For those who have done this trek already it will be heartwarming to find some familiar places.

Shooting and editing this film has been for me an act of love towards this fantastic land.

Enjoy and thanks for watching.

SEPT 2011 UPDATE: THE LOGICAL (AND EXPECTED) SEQUEL TO THIS VIDEO (CONCERNING THE GR20 SOUTH) IS HERE: vimeo.com/29148378

PS
I did my best to make the most of my vidcam, but please bear in mind I did it with a "pocket" cam, with all the limitations that this means.
Nevertheless I shot it in HD so - if your computer is not too old - you may be able to watch it full screen (if you like).
If you don't have a fast connection I recommend to let the video buffer (load) for some minutes on your computer before watching it.

    Really nice video. The long duration makes it even more interesting, like watching an "Adventure 1" documentary. What a great trekk!! Thanks for sharing and translating into English.

    That was marvellous! You have inspired me - GR20 North has been added to my list of Things I Must Do While in Europe. Thank you for the effort; the last 55 minutes have been fabulous and motivating :)
