8 Hours To Cross The Mountains Yesterday And No Problems. My Dream Is Becoming A Reality.

[sandyRoe]

Should I keep all fingers crossed that it flows gently?

[Mamyalynne]

Well done, just relax and enjoy.

[wolf63]

Do you toddle along on your own or do they have specially trained nuns to guide you?

I hope that your feet are still injury free.

How long have you had this dream?

Keep in touch - if you can

Good for you, Sandy - enjoy every moment :-)

[Jackdaw33]

These days it takes me nearly that long to cross the road!

[sandyRoe]

Wolf, funny you should mention nuns. a South Korean nun on the same flight from Dublin asked if I knew the way to the 'starting point'. I did and another two older Irishmen tagged along. So I started my Camino with a triple good turn.
Thank you all for the good wishes.

Well done, Sandy, is it downhill now?

[anneasquith]

Oh well done Sandy, I so hope you achieve your goal in doing your own wee journey. Be safe and keep well. Anne .

Well done Sandy....my admiration knows no bounds !

[Togo]

Well done sandy Our very own AB Pilgrim. I do hope you are enjoying the experience and keeping a log of your journey.

[marval]

Well done Sandy, your dream will happen.

[Tilly2]

Well done! No blisters then?

[sandyRoe]

Psybbo, I wish it was. The start is very steep but there are lots of hills yet to come. I lied About the 8 hours.it was nearer 9. Still, the only one hour worse than my best time some years ago and a whopping 5 hours better than the time I walked with a bad back.

[Tilly2]

Could you give us a daily update please , Sandy

[sandyRoe]

Tilly2, not a sign. First indication of one I'll put loads of Vaseline on the feet.
I managed to avoid the two pious Irishmen and the Korean nun during the day. They'll all be n this small town somewhere. I'd guess they'd be at evening Mass later but as I'm giving that a miss it's unlikely we'll meet again.

[sandyRoe]

I will. Hope it doesn't bore everybody and it would serve as a reminder for me, too.

[Tilly2]

You must look after your feet, Sandy.

Put them up when you get to the pub.

[Pete65]

Very best wishes on your trek, Sandy!

[sandyRoe]

Evening meal at 7.30 with free wine. W ould it be considered greedy to play Oliver and ask for more when the first bottles empty?

[sandyRoe]

Thank you all for the good wishes. They're really appreciated.

[wolf63]

You are not going to mass - is that a good thing.
