The Way of the Piney Sisters

The Camino Frances is a 500 mile long pilgrimage across northern Spain. Jane and Charlotte are two retired sisters from the UK, who, despite poor health and despite not being especially fit, decide they can manage this huge trek, carrying all their kit on their backs. This gently amusing book is their account of that journey: honest, illuminating and informative. They describe the places they see and the people they meet, including a few photos to give a taste of the wonderful, but challenging journey they experienced. They describe the highs - of which there were many - and the lows - of which there were some. They show how siblings can rise above the clich of rivalry. They describe how sometimes a simple life event, like a long walk, can have long-term impact. Anyone thinking of embarking on this pilgrimage, anyone who likes walking or anyone who likes to read about how challenges can be overcome, will find something for themselves in this book.
