🇪🇸 A little about our 2025 adventure...

👀 The Camino Primitivo is the "original way" along Spain's Camino de Santiago, a network of pilgrimage routes across Europe, and the Primitivo is significant because it's the oldest Camino pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.

Three very ordinary people hoping to make some big changes to how we have adventures.

But we need your help!

Share your tips for how you run in the places you love, without having a huge impact on the planet.

We're trying to do adventures better.
In a climate crisis, we're changing the way we do things to protect this planet as best we can.
Come and join in the adventure.

🚉 Great to hear that you'll soon be able to train it from London to Edinburgh (and back) quicker than it would take to fly!

✈️ Want an idea of how many planes are in the sky at any one time?

🌎 This is eye opening......

Thoughts on Black Friday?
We're resisting the temptation to buy new kit - seeing that some 22 billion pairs of trainers are chucked into landfill every year, and 100 billion new garments are produced annually.
We're looking to reuse, repair and recycle where possible.

1/4 👋 We're the Eco Pilgrims, a trio off on adventures that don't cost the planet.

⛰️ We (Laura, Jay and Ben) want to show that slow travel can be exciting and fast-paced, but without the heavy environmental price. We'll be demonstrating how to do this by taking on a big trip next year.
