The composition of each year's party on GR10 varied except that on the last leg, from Mont Louis to Bagnuls, all who had been involved came along.  Most members were from Wales or the borders.

Anthea, one of the party's main spirit rousers, first joined for the St Etienne to Saint Engrace section and then came with us from La Pucelle to Bagnuls	Shan was the party artist and chief marmot spotter, first walked from Gourette to Luz St Sauveur then re-joined for the La Pucelle to Beille stage and then from Mont Louis to Bagnuls	Elizabeth, mother of the party, walked all the way (with only a little complaining about the uphill parts but an expressed preference for the next holiday to be in Holland).

Eleanor, with a background of bagging Munros, joined for the ascent of Canigou (pictured) and the final stage to Bagnuls	Ernest, with African bush experience, was needed whenever we got lost to put us back on track.  He first joined for the St Etienne to Saint Engrace section and then came with us from La Pucelle to Bagnuls	Isabel, straight from a London office but bound for a season in Val d'Isere, joined for the ascent of Canigou and the final stage to Bagnuls	John, the party speechmaker and  poet, which he amply demonstrated at our big party after we finished GR10,  joined for the St Engrace to Gourette section and then from Mont Louis to Bagnuls

Rosemary, trained in a London gym and super fit set a pace that few could achieve if she got in front.  Joined at Gourette and came for the rest of the journey.	Selby, party organiser, chief map reader and web site author, dealt with technical matters and walked the whole of the trek.	Sheelagh, expert in liaison with local hoteliers etc joined for the St Engrace to Gourette section and then from Mont Louis to Bagnuls	Simon, wine expert and French speaker helped with organisation and could understand local taxi drivers.  Joined at Gourette and came for the rest of the journey.
