    On 1 September 2018 I left my home in La Sauvetat, France. My plan: to walk to nearby Condom, then follow the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and on to Cape Finistere. I can only do it in stages because of time constraints. On that first day I walked to Eauze, some 53 Kms and suffered for it. I didn't have the right footwear and it was too far to walk on the first day. In October, shod in a pair of good walking boots and the proper socks, I followed the trail from Eauze, through Nogaro and stopped at Lanne-Soubiran. On 29 March, the plan is to walk for two days, to cover about 72 Kns and get past Arzacq-Arizaguet as close to Navarenx as I can. Then in May, another two days to get me close to Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port. Then, on 20 August, my friend Alex Horwood will join me for the walk across the Pyrenees to Pamplona and on to Burgos, a 10-12 day hike. In October, another friend, Ashley Crumbley will walk with me from Burgos to Leon. In 2020I will make the final 14-day walk to Compostela and beyond to Cape Finistere. I am doing it for Cancer Research UK

    UPDATE: I arrived in Burgos on 31 August. I'll be doiung the next leg, Burgos to Leon over 6 days in November.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
