I will be 50 in September and what could be a better way to celebrate this event than by making a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This will be my 3rd Camino. The first was in July 2006 when I completed my BSc in Psychology and walked the French Way, solo, from Sarria to Santiago. Two years later I walked the Portuguese Way from Porto to Santiago with my then fiance (now my husband). For this 3rd time, I invited anyone who wanted to join me to come along and walk the English Way from Ferrol, to celebrate the big 5-0.
At the moment there are 8 of us journeying together and another "maybe" and I am getting excited about it all. We pulled out our walking gear from the loft today and that feeling of anticipation crept in! I am in the process of putting together a booklet with details of each of the stages with maps for my fellow travellers as this will be the first time most of them will have turned up at a destination with just a rucksack and directions. I have been side tracked with making this blog though!Everyone is coming round Thursday to go through the route and to see what they have let themselves in for! Some people know each other and some don't so it will be a time for people to get to know each other better. Bring on the Sangria and hot-tub!
We leave on Wednesday 25th August 2010 and return on Tuesday 31st August 2010.
