The Stats

I walked from 1/10/24 to 31/10/24, most convenient. 
The numbers are: 



36932 steps x 31 days equals 1,144,832 steps. I’m guessing I lost around a stone. Not really sure. No harm I hear the masses cry. 

Thanks for all the messages of support etc. Joan, as usual, was the standout and kudos to her for picking out Cicero’s tomb in Formia, a great spot. There’s not much that gets by her to be fair. 

Vic chipped in with a fair few comments as befits a fellow Camino walker. What he did on the Sanabres in 2019 was truly impressive. Of course, it broke him in the end (that’s what carrying 17 kgs on concrete will do to your shins) but fair play, he went back and took care of those missing stages. Coincidentally, where we walked then is the exact location of those terrible floods in Valencia today that killed over 150 people. Drought for three months earlier this year and then flash floods as ground is to hard to absorb water, it’s all scary stuff. But I digress. Blog dedicated to AM who would have been with me every step of the way if she didn’t have her own struggles. A proper kind and lovely person. There’s a few more All-Irelands in you yet.

Day 5 - Fondi (25 kms)

Finished the climb from Sonnino to the peak, that was grand. All the hard stuff was yesterday. So I’m at 850 metres (around the height of Galtee Mor) and nice views and all that but I have only one thought really. How do I get down? What is Hitler? Why is Spain?  Some people like descending, I don’t, I hate it, especially over rough ground and with no phone signal. If you fall or slip going up, no big deal usually, but if you fall going down, you can do some serious damage to yourself. Especially with a pack. You really need a stick. And despite lots of trees around all the loose stuff was damp. Anyway I did get down safety but it was no fun. Massive concentration and promises to God etc. I meant it at the time.

Finding bodies

Image
I dreamt that I discovered a body on the beach. That would be exciting. Then I thought how would I tell the cops? I don’t speak Italian. Then I thought what if the body was actually my body. That would also be tricky to explain.  I could shrug a lot I suppose. But if I was on the phone. “I think I have found a body. Yes, he looks dead. I think it’s me.”
