My next long walk starts in Seville on 7 September and will end some 50 days later at about 25 October. It is both a fund raising exercise and another personal challenge. I am raising funds for the British Ex-Servicemen's Association (BLESMA) (see below) and have an initial target of £500 but, ideally, would like donations to total the distance walked (1000 km), that is £1000.
Should any readers here wish to donate I would be very grateful and the ultimate recipients even more so.
My aim is to complete the walk at one go, stopping for 2-3 nights in the more interesting towns, eg Salamanca.
As in 2005 when I walked from Le Puy en Velay in France to Santiago I shall make periodic postings here and on my blog http://www.gbwalk2.blog.com
Ages ago I heard that the route is attractive and interesting though I think it might be better in spring than autumn. However, I cannot wait that long! Training is under way: several decent walks already done carrying rucksack and to break in new boots which I needed when 3 days ago I discovered the old ones were collapsing!
