We are officially pilgrims

We have just been given our pilgrim credentials, essentially our booklet (see above pic) in which we will collect the stamps on our way to Santiago. We will depart from the Plaza de Santiago in the centre of Madrid. At the Santiago church we hope to get our first stamp. Let's see if the priest is willing to bless a couple of atheists on this holy journey.

We have decided on the route and have made all the b&b bookings for us to crash at. The stops will be in Segovia, a village near Valladolid, Sahagun, León, Triacastela, a village in between Triacastela and Santiago, and of course the finish in Santiago where we will collect our certificate.

We are keen to get going, t minus 11 and counting....

Tomorrow I will pick up my new bike, and we have a few more training routes planned before we push off on 6 June.
