I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Within the thousand who played their part in making my journey a very special experience there were hundreds of pilgrims who shared a common purpose with me. Within those pilgrims I found a smaller group of special individuals who shared more than just a destination, we shared the journey. I have not told their stories because that is for them to tell. I would however like to list the people who, each to a different degree and in different ways, made everything special for me. The names are in no particular order and I include first names only.

The Nameless:
There were some, like the old Spanish couple who very kindly asked if I was feeling OK after being aware of my illness the previous day. I never got their names.
Or the Canadian family I met at the start of my journey.
The Russian guy who took time out to explain his theories on feet preservation and sock changes
The French couple who shared a pit stop with me and
The banker from Turkey who survived the crash and started his own training company.

The group of young Irish lads who had the energy to keep singing while walking
Let's not forget the old guy walking with the donkey.

There are so many nameless but they are remembered here.
