Day 6 Lubian to A Gudina
Last year, I started Via de la Plata Camino de Santiago.
After many unusual challenges, my Camino was ended by a broken wheel. So this year I returned to finish the job.
Last years Camino left me wanting to make a difference both for disabled people and my community back home.
So far on the disability front, I have only continued to showcase what determination can do.
My community at home, however, I've done much more. I started a charitable company with my best friend (check out Bloom Carlisle CIC) currently mainly on Facebook though we do have a corner of The Emporium Carlisle's website listing our current activities. If you feel the teens and others we help deserve support, you'll find links there.
I've been without WiFi for a few days, so doing a quick upload without commentary before I fall asleep after a tough mountain day.

I am on an 8 week training programme with Mickey Bushell MBE in Telford and whilst the training is funded by Sport England the other costs of this adventure (travel and hotel) are self-funding and with all the costs I've had getting me and the chair to this point it's a struggle. People have very kindly supported me and I want to thank each one of you. Sorry for the slip up in the first sentenc...

Carol Hall, an example to us all, courage unlimited, example unlimited, humanity unlimited. Carol Hall, privileged to call you Friend.
Just seen yesterday's post so found out how far it is now! Trust me to watch the posts back to front😂
You go for it girl! You've achieved so much this last year or two. It's a big adventure but if anyone can do it, it's you. How far is this trip ..think I missed that?
All the best Carol. Exciting!
Fantastic Carol. Hope it all goes well.😃
Wow Carol. That sounds exciting. Can't wait to hear more. You are looking so well with this new scientific focus. Go girl!
Sounds like a really full on weekend. Will you be able to do any of the stuff you are doing at or near home when you have finished your training weekends? Bet you are full of ideas now. Have fun.
How spectacular! thanks for sharing. (although i am getting a little sea sick
12.6 C, 55 F. Good grief you are tough
Love this!!
So awesome!!
you are an amazing inspiration! go girl! from Canada
Fantastic video. It is so lovely to see one of your runs. Carry on conquering, lots of love from a fellow conqueror. Xx
Glad you liked it, there are more on the channel too x
For those asking about how to get me mobile again after yet another breakage to the chair. Here's the link to the fundraiser. www.gofundme.com/f/help-carol-replace-her-wheelchair?+share-sheet& Thank you to everyone supporting my charity efforts and my ability to keep moving
Brilliant many congratulations.
Thank you
You're getting so good at speaking to camera!
Thank you x
Amazing!!!
Fucking brilliant, Carol.
Thank you x
My god! That's intense! Congratulations on such an amazing achievement! ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you all for coming to this live stream. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Is that 30 a day, or 30 in total? ❤️
30 in total!
I love how you get more and more bedraggled as the video goes on 😂
I was soaked!
Love it!
Love this!
Thank you
That little black dress at the end is gorge!
After I finished we decided to try it and it does indeed fit so I'm super excited, now we just need lockdown over and somewhere to go :D
Sorry to hear your plans were derailed. It sucks when your mind is ready but the body isn't. Hopefully with time it'll be better.
Thanks for sharing. You've had an amazing transformation! Your method does make a lot of sense, about finding the 'whys' rather than just jumping into some punishing (and unsustainable) exercise regime.
Thanks for the comment. It's slightly ironic if you see my next upload :D oops. Though to be fair the exercise issue is more about how much I was enjoying it and just went too hard too soon.
I hope your shoulder is better. It's true, it's very often mind over matter in exercise, not just when pushing to hit a target speed or distance but also just deciding to get up and do something. One of the yoga instructors in UA-cam often starts her videos by saying "you've shown up; the hardest part is now over". I struggle with sustaining the motivation to exercise. Been taking a "break" this whole month partly cos a painful knee and partly cos of the Chinese New Year festive period and laziness. I'm aiming to restart exercising in March. Fingers crossed.
Thanks. Yes I'm going to be out quite a while but weekly physio will get me back up and running at whatever is a balance of a safe pace coupled with enthusiasm
Congratulations! Well done for conquering the bridges and hills! I cycle sometimes and very often I change route or don't go on my rides when there is a bridge or incline in the way. XD
We specialise in hills here :D I can't leave the house without a fairly big hill.
I've been really fortunate to have just gotten past frozen shoulder, which took two years to heal after I slipped on ice. Main recovery has been from total knee replacement in Nov 2020, but that is progressing well, and I am looking forward to getting the other knee replaced in Nov. 2021! Glad it turned out to be your traps, and that you have some changes to apply once you're back on the road.
Good luck to you too and thanks for the well wishes x
Sounds like you've made a great start on your fitness journey! I'd love to see where you go from here, metaphorically with the fitness and literally with the scenery. Your dog's adorable too. ;) (by the way, I've come over from the Conqueror FB group.)
Thank you. I hope to get the next installment up tomorrow
