    After thunder, lightning, rain and hail so hard it bruised my legs in the morning lool, the only window of sun in DAYS happened reaching Santiago cathedral 🥹 And it also just so happened that nearly everyone who has made this SO SO SPECIAL came together in one way or another at the finish. Cannot articulate what an incredible adventure this has been!!! Now time to party and vegetate for a day before the grand finale trek to the coast woooooRead more

    First rest day in over a month spent mooching and chilling to the max. Also just realised I took virtually no pics apart from this random assortment lool. Went to pilgrims mass in the eve (took it very seriously ofc, zero messing about) before a final meal 🥹 The night before Alex bought everyone postcard books and we all wrote notes and memories in each others and it was SO SWEET will very much miss them all :(Read more

    Definitely took some motivation to get the shoes back on but couldn't turn down the final challenge of reaching the coast!!! Said goodbye to the trail fam which was v sad and walked with James up to 20K before saying bye to him too :( Having that said, grateful to have some quieter walking days to wind down and reflect (and still get battered with rain 🤪) A lot of the trails have turned to mini rivers and there's blown down trees everywhere ahaha. 30K in the bag and felt pretty chill - amazing how the body and mind get accustomed to distance!Read more
