Well, I have sort of decided what and when the next walk will be.
I have looked at the Spain Caminos, I have looked at the Italy Caminos and they are all linked in some way. I am leaning towards a pilgrimage but which one??
After much reading and contacting people I think I will start at the beginning and not at the end and start in England, at least I can understand their signs and language as I will be walking on my own. This will give me confidence to start on my own.
I will start at the Salisbury Cathedral, to Winchester Cathedral to Canterbury Cathedral and finish in Dover at the coast of England. This walk should be about 350klms and should take me about 3 - 4 weeks to complete. I hope to finish the 1900klms pilgrimage over the next 4 - 5 years finishing at St Peters (the Vatican) in Rome.
Next was to sort the time of the year to walk. June/July was not an option, too hot and too expensive so looks like late September 2017 to start the walk. Back to training.
I have started to walk again but just 2 or 3 times a week but plan to walk a 6 day walk n June 2017 along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail in preparation, carrying for 6 days as I plan to carry for the pilgrimage. This should be interesting times.
The Cancer site will be closed down on 12th September and the final amount donated will be announced after the Mercy Mass in St Marys Church in Ipswich. I would like to thank everyone for all their help and support over the last 15 months. It started as a dream and became reality when we descended the mountains outside Castletownbere, Cork.
The next change will be the name of this blog - watch this space......
