    Good point! Thanks, the call to walk is strong and I suspect will get stronger until it sneaks into my diary and I start to plan again.. Looking forward to 2016 and all it may bring. Happy New Year SY

    Still overwhelmed it is over.....

    Hi SY, Thank you for your words, did you keep up long distance walking? If you did, how did you fit it into your regular life? It took me until my Daughter was fourteen to feel that I could take six weeks out of my family and work life. How did you keep finding the time? It was such a big ask...

    Still overwhelmed it is over.....

    Thank you for reminding me of the people I met who told me that it was their second, third and fourth Camino, at the time, I could not even think beyond walking another day and here were others who had come back again and again. I suppose I felt I would have a sense of conclusion at Santiago...

    Still overwhelmed it is over.....

    I walked into Santiago at the end of May 2015 and am still not able to reconcile my experience.
