There's something special about a walking holiday. There's a glorious sense of achievement at the end of the day when your legs are aching and you're bone tired.
The walking itself is very relaxing, meditative almost. It feels good for the soul and I really love getting somewhere under my own steam.
I always feel like I'm walking in the footsteps of pilgrims. It harks back to something very old in us, a connection to a past long gone.
Hopefully, I'll enter the gorgeous medieval city of Santiago de Compostela, triumphant on day 100 of 100 days of walking.
