Walking My Way: DAYS 10 & 11: Grañon to Villafranca Montes de Oca to Burgos

What a lovely two days, including some of the mentally toughest walking bits! When you've been at it for 8 hours already and have many kilometres left before you've completed your first marathon... your mind does interesting things.

I also discuss my ineptness with physical touch at the end of the episode, enjoy me squirming for two minutes straight :D

I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London. I graduated from Cambridge last year and have been working in TV production since. I'm taking time off work to go on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across France and Spain (I’m doing the full Camino Frances). I will be walking 800 km as a female solo traveller, completely untrained (in fact with a hip injury). This journey has been a dream of mine since I was 15, when I read The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. I wouldn’t say I’m religious, but I do have some sort of relationship with spirituality, which I am hoping to explore on this trip. Stay tuned for an episode for every day of my journey, which I will be walking for over a month. From the practical, emotional, historical and spiritual, to the deep connections (and blisters) I’m expecting to make, you will hear it all. Buen camino!
