During October John Cole from Warmington will be continuing with his 1500km walk along the pilgrim paths from Le Puy-en-Velay in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain to raise funds for Katharine House Hospice in Banbury.

Earlier this year John started the route, walking the first 270km in 12 days. He will return to Spain in mid October to walk a further 476km and complete the route in March next year waling the remaining 790km through northern Spain to Santiago.

John will stay in hostels or refuges, established for the pilgrims and his 'pilgrims passport' which is supplied by the UK Confraternity of St James will be stamped at each night's stay along the route.

Ok - that's impressive! That's around 23km a day - 15 miles - 5/6 hours of hard walking every day.

Good luck with the rest of the walk John.
