The end of the journey?

I have now returned to Bristol. Apparently there has been a General Election but sadly I missed it.

My next steps are to write my dissertation for my Global Ethics MSc and to start looking for a new job. And then there is the garden and allotment.

Ending a journey always brings a mixture of relief and regret and there is always unfinished business. The Templar Way would take me on across Turkey, then Cyprus and finally to Jerusalem. Of course this is just a thought!

Thanks to everyone who read and commented on this blog and FaceBook postings. I am happy to do some "Walk Talks" so if you are interested please contact me through the contacts page of www.romealone.org.uk

I have been walking to support the fantastic work of the International Refugee Trust in Syria and South Sudan, so if you haven't quite got round to it yet here is the link again:

This Roman stone marks the end of the Via Egnathia in Istanbul but modern signs point elsewhere!

I have finally arrived in this exotic city. I have walked over 800km and cycled another 420 from the first Roman capital to the second. Thanks to all those who read my posts.

It's been an amazing journey but if you would like to make it even more worthwhile you could visit my Just Giving page to support the work of the International Refugee Trust in Syria and South Sudan.

Thank you!

All best wishes, Phil
