✈️👎 No flights for us. Ferries/buses and trains, but no flying.
👕 Kit that we already own, or carefully selecting kit that doesn't cost the planet.
❗️This won't be easy, and we'll no doubt get it wrong along the way. So we want you to help.

🏃♀️ Last year, almost half a million people took on the Camino Way in its various forms. By the time flights, food, and kit are added, the average Camino pilgrim leaves a carbon footprint of around half a tonne of CO2 emissions, which is the equivalent of a 3,500km drive.

🚶♂️ Starting in Oviedo, the route crosses the beautiful, mountains of Asturias, and finishes some 220 miles later at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the burial place of St James.
Our motivation? To raise awareness of our impact on adventures like this across the globe.

The new LNER service between the two cities is set to launch this month, and the journey will take just over four hours. Taking the train is 13 times less polluting than flying, but of course, the sticking point, once again, is the cost.

3/4 ✈️ Forget hopping on polluting planes to fly across the world; we'll be seeking alternative means of transport, while exploring the most sustainable ways to fuel, kit up, and everything in between.
