#Day7 Longest so far
Dziwnovek to Miedzyzdroje – 31km 24C Terrain: Road and cycle paths – love them! Woke up knowing that I had to cover over 30km today and felt a little daunted. For many this isn’t much but my main concern was my knee so decided to walk (ended up running a little though). The trouble with […] Read More

#Day-1 Arriving
Having flown to Berlin with my mum, we rented a car to head straight to Unieradz, where gran grew up. Turns out it really is in the middle of nowhere and without a car, I’m really not sure how I’d have found it. It’s difficult to describe the feelings that arriving had on me/us but […] Read More
