The last 100km through ancient mysterious Galicia from Sarria to Santiago will remain a mystery for you since I have been Camera less during this period.
The hike from Portomarin to Melide was hell for me, as I have come to the end of my strength.
My friend from last year's spring Camino Miguel "The Machine" will be in Melide tonight and it is the only chance that I can meet up with him and Iñaki. Iñaki has made a special trip to be here for this get together and it means a 40km day for me.
I left my Hostel at 6.00am in the dark to get a good start and was making great progress.
The first 24km was eaten up in 4 hours and as if on clock work both my tibialis anterior muscles just above my ankle decided to give out at the same time. I had a few stabbing pains along the way that were good indicators that there was a problem!

The last 16km took me 5hours and every step was piercing pain as my muscles were inflamed, and any pronation back or forward exploded new pain in my legs. Unfortunately placing your foot on the ground to step forward causes automatic pronation and trust me when I tell you, I scanned every bit of knowledge I have to find the metaphysical basis for this issue and attempted to release it into Mother Earth.
9 hours later I found a Hostel and collapsed on the bed in absolute joy to be done for the day.
Diner together with the old team was wonderful and armed with some of Machines anti inflammatory's I called it a night and hoped for the best.
