An interesting and inspiring story. I really enjoyed it, the sense of achievement you felt, the rigors of the trek. I love the idea of taking on challenges at any age, but in later years, even more so.

I live in southern France, about an hour from Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert which is on Chemin de St-Jacques pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostella, so your story was also of local interest to me. Best wishes and bon chance with your recent struggles, I hope all goes well.
