Wow that's what it feels like to walk 45 km!!! In 10 hours with nearly 30 kilos on your back pain pain and more pain. Went through a few thunder storms and some hellish roads but got to see a rainbow at the end of it all : )

By far the most difficult day so far!!!! Rained all day long the route to Reims was on a busy main road and every time a lorry went pass we got completely soaked, last night we stayed in a small village called arrancy we slept under a roof in what I can only describe as a farmers shed although it was very uncomfortable and the rain got in the owners were lovely and gave us hot chocolate anyway will have to go now sorry speak soon

Hi everyone sorry we have not checked in for a while! not had the chance as we have been going through rough country farms and all that kind of staff (no wifi or phone signal at points), Today we met a lovely family who invited us to have dinner with them and also stay the night. wow I guess we have been good this year lol. The journey so far has been tough to say the least, our feet have been to hell and back, and this is just the beginning we thought it was going to be tough we just did not realise how tough. our spirits at the moment are super high and we hope we can raise as much funds and awareness as possible for The Rifles Care For Casualties Charity. We are using an Iphone as a GPS system and internet server but as it will only work on vodafone we are finding it increasingly hard to update Tripline ect, as if we keep topping up it will become too expensive for us, we also find it hard to navigate as the battery power does not last very long maybe 6 hours fully charged not the best but it's doing the job non the less. we where both overwhelmed to see all the positive comments and best wishes you have all send to us thank you and please keep the coming!!!!!!!!! we need them :) THANK YOU ALL. lets try and spread this as far and wide as we possibly can.! We would also like to thank our family who have been fully supporting us along the way. and a special thanks to the Schneider family who have look after us today will never forget you all :)

Merry Christmas everyone!!! So last night we got to open our great presents! Loved them thank you:) we spend most of Christmas day walking sounds a bit boring but we got to meet Santa and some cool people to chat to, we also met mihail who invited us to meet his lovely wife and kids. After having a quick beer and fantastic French cheese we carried on walking till about 9 pm when we found some nice shelter to settle for the night :) we are looking forward to openning all our other prezzies when we get back home ;)

Today we plan to cross some massive looking mountings then we will be very close to Switzerland ;) speak soon world walk

Look into the picture closely and you will notice what seems like snow in the background are in fact clouds! The picture does not do justice to the actual view was hard getting there, but the strugle was well worth it!! ;) been to a lot of places around the world but to see a sun set at over 10,000 feet is something else. Have some great stories about our journey over the mountings but unfortunately you will have to wait until we get some much needed rest :)

London to Switzerland in 28 days, faster than concord!!;)

So finally we made it to Zurich:) We even found a great place to set camp for the night.

As Antonio and Pino came upon the Swiss alps they thought about how stupid and dangerous it will be to attempt to cross them by foot during this time of year!!! 
So after dogging a few train ticket inspectors they were long over them.
Some might not call this walking around the world but hey one does what one can. 

Thank you for your concerns sorry we did not update for a while, we got to Milan not long ago unfortunately we had to postpone the trip there, as our family needed some help. As you all know Charity starts at home :) part two of the trip should be commencing soon!!
