I head off 21st September 2011, to walk the Camino de Santiago.
The Camino de Santiago de Compostela, also known in English as The Way of St James, is a collection of old pilgrimage routes which cover all Europe. For more than 1000 years pilgrims have been walking along the Camino de Santiago.
The Camino de Santiago traditionally starts in St Jean Pied de Port and finishes in Santiago de Compostela about 780km later, after traveling the breadth of Northern Spain..

All those km’s (and no doubt blisters!) are to raise funds to enable me to fly to Sarajevo, Bosnia, to help bring relief to those still suffering trauma in the aftermath of the war, under the banner of British charity, Healing Hands Network.
Healing Hands Network is a charity that was formed in 1996 by a group of complementary therapists who wanted to help those people affected by the siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian war. Between 1992 and 1995, the city’s 500,000 inhabitants were trapped without sufficient food, power, or healthcare, facing dreadful atrocities including torture and ethnic cleansing. Clients have reported a wealth of other positive effects including an increase in optimism and hope.
