This is the tale of two wonderful women, members of the East End Girls walking group, who discovered a joint wish to walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostella and made it happen. Read of our experiences, view our photos and be inspired to undertake this wonderful journey yourself.

Who's joining us this time.
Teresa and I have done the first two sections of the Camino on our own and it's been such a lovely experience. Teresa would be more religious than me but I feel it's true to say that we are both spiritual and there's something wonderful about the peace and quiet of walking this historical path.
Often we are the only two people for miles and that solitude allows great time for contemplation and thinking. We can happily walk along for short periods not saying a thing but most of the time we're pointing out sights, marvelling at the spectacular and taking photos - usually me who gets rather 'trigger happy' especially in that fabulous morning and evening light.
We've decided that we don't want to walk with a huge group but that 4 or 6 may be OK, I have to say that honestly it feels a little scary but the people interested are other wonderful women who we know so well and to date have shared so much with so not sure why I feel like this. Anyhow, as a first step, we've asked Chris and Lindsey so will await their response.....
A couple of others are also interested, will we take it stage by stage or go for more this time? Perhaps we'll need that bigger group to help us make it up to the little chapel on the hillside outside Conques!
