Camino de Santiago 2013
Monday, October 22, 2012

In May 2013 a group will set off to walk the last leg of the Camino de Santiago to raise much needed funds for the Playtrail. A costs for the trip will be meet by the individuals, so all funds raised will go directly to support the work of the charity.

The group will be following a famous pilgrims route across northern Spain, walking approx 112 km during their trip and staying in hostels at night. The trek will finish in Santiago where they will receive their pilgrims certificate and visit the cathedral.

If you would like to support the efforts of the group and contribute to their fundraising, then simply click the link:
