Via de la Plata - pre-departure notes.

Well I havefinally bitten the bullet and managed to work out how to write a blog of my trip to the Via de la Plata.
I depart from home (Wiltshire in the south of England) on 6th August, and should return home late on the 24th August - assuming my dear husband will pick me up from Bristol airport.

In that time I will have walked approx 230 miles (over 13 days) from Pueblo de Sanabria to Finisterre, via Santiago de Compostela and Muxia.

I suspect my 'Blog' will consist mainly of photos from my HTC phone with brief explanations of where I am, but if I can get to grips with the technology I will endeavour to say more about the heat, accommodation, and any other experiences worth sharing!!

Andrew and I walked from Seville to Merida in April of this year, and I have been training hard and also trying to learn Spanish. So I consider myself fairly well prepared.
We will see how it pans out!!

Attached is a picture of me looking foolish with 2 buffs on my legs (after some serious sunburn and chafing)
This picture shows me and Andrew relaxing in a bar near Zadra after walking many kilometres.
