> Thanks. As a couple of follow-up questions:
> How long did you take on it?
29 days, but it's not a race.
> Where did you mostly stay and eat en route?

€50, and for that ate well, and drank plenty
> What time of year did you do it, and what was the weather like? I've looked at the route, and am a bit concerned that walking in the plains could be scorching hot.
Just finished it 4 days ago. My weather was perfect, just one day, i was still walking in the sun.
