A friend, Pierre Angleys walked from Geneva to Santiago in 2005.
Ten years later, he is making another pilgrimage, this time a virtual - or armchair - camino. If this might be of interest to you, check out his website.
Buen camino

Fascinating! It's an idea I have long had but sadly never put into play. I shall be in contact with your friend as I will be happy to share his journey on www.thisisspain.info each day

O, la vache! Suzanne, there seems no way of making contact through his site! Are you in contact? Please either give me his contact details or ask him to contact me via www.ThisIsSpain.info

@ThisIsSpain, I presume you are Steve? If so, then I would like to thank you for raising awareness, through your UK bike ride, for the UN Refugee Agency where I have worked for the past 22 years (presently on assignment in Pakistan). Support such as this from the public, for our work, is always much appreciated.

How kind! Fascinated to learn how you found me! Thanks too for pointing out the super-obvious! I will contact him! I met an AMAZING person yesterday http://www.wow-amsterdam.nl/#/event/in-limbo-embassy

You would be proud of her, I am sure ...... in the same way that I am of you. #respect

@ThisIsSpain, in this social interconnecting world we now live in, nothing can not be found!! In fact, I went on to your website (mentioned above) and saw that the owner of this website was called Steve - so I took an educated guess that it was you!, and that he'd "...cycled around the United Kingdom to raise awareness for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees..."! Just one wee comment, there's an 'er' on the end of Commission. Unlike - for instance, British High Commission - UNHCR is a UN Programme run by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
I don't know about the Limbo Embassy in Amsterdam, but probably our European Bureau does.
Regards
Suzanne

OK, thanks for tidying. Yes, Steve Hall - guilty as charged! In 6 years nobody had pointed out the "er"

This was it. I started 5 years ago today, this very day! www.theshirt2010.co.uk

I'd like to do it all again but my health is telling me that I would be a liability to myself and others. Next year? 5000 kms through Norway?
