Just like Scafell, I invited myself along.  My friend, well I think she is a friend, but she calls me a colleague!!! -  mentioned that she was going to Walk 'The Way of St James' not as in copy the way he walked - because there are no pictures of him walking and why would she want to do that anyway?  but the route that he took on his pilgrimage from France to Spain  - El Camino De Santiago De Compestela.  I will tell you more later.  she is doing the whole a distance of 791 km (490 miles) over the Pyrenees in France to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia – go colleague go! Due to other holiday commitments I am joining her for the last stretch, just over 100kms.  Hence, my trip to the Lake District is my pre Camino holiday. 

Again I have hit the nail on the head with the dating - not.  I am going with a group of girlfriends;  whoops, correction, in case any possible plus ones are reading this - I mean friends whom are girls.

I have packed my backpack with exactly what I will be taking with me when I walk my Camino - I have already started my dry run Camino, I will tell you how tomorrow.
