Day 70...My inspiration

The day starts at 6.30 in the refuges, nobody sleeps in and nobody can stay for two days so everybody gets going sharpish.  I walked 25 miles today to Pamplona and enjoyed some stunning scenery in beautiful weather.  I met Eric from Switzerland who is a great guy to walk with - there are many pilgrims walking now but they are too slow for McGarry.  

Today would be my Dad's birthday but he passed away many years ago after suffering with Alzheimer's.  I've been thinking a lot about him while I've been walking and I would like to thank him for everything he did for me.  I remember him taking me on long walks when I was a boy. We also ran the Glasgow marathon together twice,  but Dad ran it many more times than that.  He was a great inspiration to me and helped make me the man I am today so thank you Dad and I love you forever.  

Today's song is

Electric Light Orchestra - Mr Blue Sky

for my wee Da.
