The Route Saint Jacques
WALKING THE PILGRIM’S ROUTE
The walk, which starts in Arles and will finish in Toulouse will cover approximately 425 Kilometres of undulating terrain, and I have given myself just over two weeks to complete it. I am fortunate to have gathered a small group of friends who will be coming out to accompany me on various stages.
Whist I hope to gain great satisfaction from completing this challenge, I would like at the same time to benefit three of my favourite charities.

http://www.justgiving/richardscharitywalk2 for Macmillan Cancer Support

any contributions would be very welcome.
To update you on progress:
20th May 2010
Day 5 and I am begining to realise what an undertaking this is. We are in the mountainous areas and the tracks are tough. Not helped today by a major map reading fault ! Not my fault I hasten to add ! We have at least covered over 150 kilometers since last Friday.
Head into the isolated area of the Haut Languedoc tomorrow.
