Halfway There: Deb's Way Reaches a Major Milestone
More than 400 kilometres walked, infected toes, early starts, aching muscles, one episode of food poisoning, unexpected friendships and enough stories to fill a book Guernsey Chest and Heart’s nurse Deb Bray has reached the halfway point of her incredible Camino journey.
What began with an emotional farewell from Guernsey and a nervous first night in France has become an adventure unlike anything Deb has experienced before.
Over the past few weeks, Deb has crossed cities, villages, forests, mountains and open countryside, following ancient pilgrimage routes through France and into Spain. Along the way she has battled the heat, tired legs and the daily challenge of picking herself up each morning to do it all again.
Yet through every high and low, one thing has remained constant her - determination to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
As followers of Deb's Way will know, the journey has provided plenty of memorable moments. There have been train adventures, questionable accommodation, unexpected detours, emotional reunions, beautiful scenery and more than a few occasions where Deb's trademark sense of humour has carried her through.
But it is the people she has met that have made the biggest impression.
From fellow pilgrims walking their own Camino journeys to the locals who welcome travellers into their communities, Deb has experienced first-hand the warmth, generosity and connection that make the Camino so special.
Along the way she has shared stories, meals, laughter and encouragement with people from across the world, often discovering that despite different backgrounds and languages, the reasons people walk are remarkably similar.
