Yesterday, St Patrick's Day, we were visited by a Leprechaun in the form of our dear friend Greta. As you may have guessed she is Irish, somewhat extrovert and totally mad! We opened the front door and there she was, blowing madly on her flute! We had spoken earlier that day and she must have sensed that we were slightly stressed trying to organise everything before we set off for Spain on 1st April. We suspect that she came to remind us that the walk also has to be fun and must be thoroughly enjoyed, something that we are determined to do.
Greta walked with us on the Thames Path Walk in 2007 as well as providing logistical support and she was the nurse who looked after the terrible blisters I got on that walk. She is a good friend, and a great traveller and adventurer. Her last adventure a few months ago was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The good news (this remains to be seen!) is that she and her friend Linda are going to join us in Ourense and will walk with us over 100 kms to Santiago de Compostela, one of the last stages of our epic walk. I suspect she thinks we are not going to get that far, hence her offer. Well, Greta, get your boots ready 'cause we intend to see you there, come what may!
If there are any other mad people out there who would like to keep us company on our walk, please get in touch.
