Catch Up (part 1)

What better way to catch up with the journey than a dedicated photo essay, for a picture paints a thousand words, and I'm a few thousand words in arrears. So without further ado here are a few images to catch everyone up to date. Some images may be out of order so please forgive me if you notice! ;)

Halftime break...

My apologies for not having posted a blog entry for a while. A combination of factors led to prolonged silence, lack of wifi, mountains, and illness amongSt them, but be assured I am still on track, and indeed past the halfway mark sometime ago in Bordeaux. Perhaps then it is fitting that my first blog entry after such a sustained absence should be to thank all those wonderful people who have made this great adventure possible. Those that gave directions, those who without hesitation gave water when my bottles were low, those who gave moral, spiritual, emotional and material support, and those wonderful people who hosted a tired pilgrim at the end of an often arduous journey. For the truth is, without you, none of this would have been possible, you have encouraged and sustained me in this journey in ways I barely new possible, and have time and again generously given selflessly to ensure this pilgrims trail remained strong and clear. For this and so much more, I thank you all.

I have crossed the Pyranese and am now just 500km from Santiago, having covered almost 2000km to this point. There is much to express and catch up with, but for now, this post is for all those who have helped me on my way, we have done this together, and I thank you.

As ever I urge you to take a look at the links in the comments and to the left of this page directing you to charity water, it is after all why I put one foot in front of the other, and why so many wonderful people have helped along the way. Thankyou!
