By the time we reached the finishing line last
Friday evening we both felt fair knackered, so we saved the photo
shoot until the following morning - see attached!   A combination of
monsoon conditions over the first three days and unavoidably long
stretches of road walking made for hard going at times, but all our B&B
hosts were very helpful along the way and in between the rain we were
rewarded with views of stunning scenery, especially along the
south coast of Mull.  Perhaps more than anything, we appreciated the
almost tangible spiritual quality of Iona Abbey itself and
the inspiration of its rebuilding and development as an ecumenical
Christian centre, nowadays visited by over 140,000 people a year.
Pilgrims have been going there for a very long time, and it's not hard
to see why.

In the spring, Nick and Mark will be setting off on the second leg of their pilgrimage - this time to Whithorn.  If you would like to support their effort, visit https://stmarys.workwithus.org/frp
