A Walk Across Europe, Portugal to Turkey

Cabo são Vincente to Istanbul - 12,000 km. 2003 - 2033 (approx)

 

May 2010: After 130 walking days and over 2567 km covered, we have reached France but the walk is on pause. Anne has cancer and is too ill to walk more than a few metres. The statistics suggested she was unlikely to recover but we lived in hope. Sadly she died on June 25th 2010. Neil plans to re-start the walk, alone, in October 2010.

The walk is about 12,000 kilometres or 7,500 miles long.
At the present rate of progress it will take approximately 30 years to complete.

We are considering continuing yet further, east of Istanbul, eventually leaving the coast, following rivers and lakes instead although we doubt we'll live that long?
