Hi All,
Been putting in the miles and most of the time it has been very enjoyable if a mite tiring especially with the heat. As Mark points out it is a killer.
Made it to near Panmplona yesterday but it near finished me. No more of that. I offloaded some stuff back to home. Not much, just three pounds but what a difference in how I feel. Didn´t exactly fly along but the step was a bit lighter.
Had the chance to spend some time in Pamplona this morning (waiting on the Post Office opening at 8.30). Had been there before on a few occasions with Ewan MacArthur nad Chris Irgens on a European project. Lovely place and the very image of Ols Spain. Got lost twice though which meant I had to make up time during the really hot part of the day, 1.30 - 4.00. Not doing that again.
Staying in a hotel tonight which has a peregrino section, ie the cheap 8 euros a night section. Still it is a bed and pleanty of room unlike the other three in whcih we have stayed.
Will catch up later. The money is running out on the computer I have access to.
best,
Arthur.

The Idea
We, Arthur and Mark, are taking on El Camino de Santiago de Compostella. 480-ish miles from St.Jean Pied du Port in France, across the Pyrenees and through Northern Spain to Santiago.
Mark is looking to cover around a marathon a day and finish in no more than 23 days. Arthur will have to spend more time in the blistering heat covering around 15 miles per day.
Arthur and Mark will give regular updates on their travels and adventures.

Hi Arthur and Mark - I've been meaning to get in touch since your email on July 5th - and finally today have found the time to sit down and check out your Big Adventure! I have read through all your blogs - makes for interesting reading... it is absolutely brilliant what you guys are doing!
I have figured out how to put some money in your coffers though I didn't see the bit where you could write a comment - drats... (I would have said something like: Looks like an incredible journey, in more ways than one!)
Your efforts are inspirational to anyone who is struggling with doing something extremely difficult (both physiologically and psychologically) - I'm wondering which aspect feels tougher?
I'll keep dipping in to see how you are both doing.
Take care!
