We Walk For Yorkshire

I’m taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire, the annual walking challenge organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research. I’ll be joining others across Yorkshire and beyond, to collectively walk 35,000 miles in May to help fund life-saving cancer research.

Why 35,000? That’s the number of people who are told they have cancer in Yorkshire every year. By walking in May, I’m helping save lives in our region.

By taking part, I’m helping to shine a light on the need for new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer in our region.

By supporting my fundraising, you’ll be directly contributing to vital research and pioneering new services that will benefit people with cancer in Yorkshire now, and in the future.

Thank you for anything you’re able to donate. It will make a real difference.

Camino Portuguese / 150 miles

Saturday 2nd May

My husband and I undertake our 2nd Camino - The Camino Portuguese in May.

Ā Last year we did the Camino Ingles from Ferrol to Santiago De Compostela (SDC), this time we are embarking on the Portuguese Central route from Porto To SDC.Ā 

We are basically doubling last years duration and distance i.e. 12 days covering 150 miles eek !  Nothing like a challenge in your late 50s 😮. To cap it all we will be carrying 7kg backpacks. But we have chosen to stay in Airbnb's rather than hostels, after a very poor nights sleep due to other dormitory residents snoring!  

It will be lovely to have my sister join us at Valenca for the 2nd half as we cross into Spain.. she just needs to choose her obligatory Camino tattoo if we make it to SDC 🫔.

Ā We'll be meerily accumulating credential stamps and meeting lovely people from all over the world before we collect our 'Compostela' certificate.Ā 

Wish us luck!Ā
