Publisher's Synopsis
On her 82nd birthday, a grandmother was challenged to hike 100 kilometres (62miles) in Spain's Galician mountains. Walking the ancient Camino de Santiago route with a heavy backpack, she faced adventures with other pilgrims, sticky mud, steep climbs and blistering midday heat. This was one way she faced the adventures and challenges of the third or late age. This uplifting book addresses the question for those in their 50s and beyond: 'What now, what next, what has it all been about?' It shows that far from settling into comfy slippers, whatever problems life presents, if a new challenge is accepted, a purposeful new life adventure begins.
