đŸŠ¶Steps: 35,067


Total miles completed: 249.5/500


💰Costs: €10 bed, €7 wire for iPhone , €9 food resupply. €26


Subjective feeling out of 10 on:


Enjoyment: 7/10

Fatigue: 2/10 - I’m not sure I’m getting my food 100% right. I’m healthier - and staying away from the gluten and diary - but I’m not sure I’m getting enough food. I also don’t feel particularly hungry at all. So it’s a struggle finding things I want to eat.

Ease of terrain: 2/10



Challenges: my iPhone charging wire broke so my iPhone died in the morning. Luckily the first big town i went to I was able to get a new wire from the gas station. So problem solved pretty quickly.


Highlights: sleeping so much better now, afternoon naps are helping and I think I’m so tired I’m just sleeping through the snoring. The scenery has been beautiful 😍

Subjective feeling out of 10 on:


Enjoyment: 5/10 it was more a case of just doing the walking and getting it done.

Fatigue: 1/10 - I surprised myself - 26 miles in could have probably done another 4 miles.

Ease of terrain: 2/10 - super flat - easy walking.



Challenges: From 11.30am I was looking for accommodation- 12 albergues were full - before I found one. I honestly thought I would be sleeping outside today đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł


Highlights: finding a bed at the end of the day. It would have been nice to stop a few hrs earlier! Then I would have been on better form at the dinner. Met nice people and it was good to have some proper food. After eating I totally crashed and needed bed.
