On the 11th of February, I was picked up at 3am to start my journey to Santiago. After arriving with minutes to spare before my flight, I made it onto the plane with nothing but a few items of clothes, some toiletries and a sleeping bag.

Rewinding to February, I had a meeting with a charity called Young Star Mentoring called Tony. He explained to me that he would be running a trip whereby young people from all walks of life would join him to complete a section of the Camino de Santiago. After quite a few last-minute changes, the team was set to go. We were to start in Leon and (hopefully) finish at the Compostela in Santiago, with only 15 days to complete the 322km trek.

Hi all! 

It's been a busy few weeks while preparing to go away on the Camino hiking trip. I've completed another 2 Tough Mudders and it's safe to say that I've destroyed another iWalk (despite them being extremely robust). This highly engineered bit of kit has been a real lifesaver for the me and I thought I would share my experience with you and how it has changed my life for the better.
