Walk Across Europe

An estimated 8000 kilometre walk from Cape Saint Vincent (Portugal) to Istanbul (Turkey) with photos of the flora and fauna, Maps, GPS tracks and KML track files for use with Google Earth. The yellow line shows what has been completed. The brown trace is planned for the future. This makes more sense when viewed in Google Earth and when you zoom in.

October 2009: After 130 walking days and over 2567 km covered, we had reached France but the walk was on pause because Anne (Neil's sister) had cancer and was too ill to walk more than a few metres. The statistics suggested she would be unlikely to recover but we lived in hope for 14 months. Sadly Anne died in June 2010. Neil's mother (Margaret) who also started the walk, died a couple of Months before Anne. Neil resumed the walk in October 2010.

April 2011: Neil is continuing the walk. With two of the three who started, already dead, and looking at actuarial tables for life expectancy, Neil has decided not to walk down to the toe of Italy and back. The chances of reaching Istanbul would be too small. Following the whole coastline of Albania and Greece might also be too far. The latest ideas put Neil about half way. Even so he'd be well on the way to 70 years old continuing at the present rate.

You can download kml tracks logging the 3507 km completed so far. This file is about 6.9 MBytes and can be viewed in Google Earth.
