Q3 review - one million steps!

Three quarters of the way through the Camino Frances, let's update our stats:

Days on Camino: 26
Days walking: 24 (have not taken any rest days since Burgos on 8 April)

Total distance walked: 729km/1,024,009 steps
Camino distance walked: ~600km
Camino distance remaining: 185km

Average daily cost: €34/$54.40 (accommodation €11.60/$18.50, eating and drinking €22.40/$35.80, rising as I have developed a mild caffeine addiction and started eating out more)

Least used item: head torch. Ive only started walking pre-dawn a few times, and I don't use it in the dorm because I'm not a disorganised psychopath, so unless you were walking at a time of year when the sunrise is significantly later, I'd cull it. Everything else is in either constantly rotation or for a period, it was the most important thing but I can't ditch it now (rain gear and medical canister).

Shoe update: we've had a blow out! Noticed it yesterday, whoever had front left of right shoe in the sweeps please make yourself known, and for double or nothing pick which of the two hot spots will be next to fall. Tread has been fairly trodden but is holding on, that tear will compromise the waterproofing but I haven't had rain in nearly two weeks so fingers crossed, and the heels are holding on. I reckon we can do this easy.Read more
