2003 April - Portugal Algarve West |
Entire Route (Google Earth KML, 6.4 MB Approx.) The walk is about 8000 kilometres or 5000 miles long. We are considering continuing yet further, east of Istanbul, eventually leaving the coast, following rivers and lakes instead although we doubt we'll live that long. Indeed two of the three that started the walk have now died and Neil continues alone. May 2010: After 130 walking days and over 2567 km covered, we reached France but the walk had to be paused. Anne had cancer and was too ill to walk more than a few metres. The statistics suggested she was unlikely to recover but we lived in hope. Sadly she died on June 25th 2010. Neil re-started the walk, alone, in October 2010. Margaret, Neil's mother also died in late April 2010. She was 89 and was becoming frail so this was not unexpected. She did well to accompany us until Easter 2008 although she only joined us for the easiest legs of the walk. Please read the disclaimers and FAQ if you plane to use these routes. |
