STEPHEN BEGAN HIS WORLD WIDE WALK ON 1 APRIL 2006: THE FIRST 2000 KILOMETERS (1250 MILES)
Stephen Malone began his epic World Wide Walk for
AIDS orphans from "San Martin", Millicent Road within the village of Clane, Co. Kildare, about 20 miles (32
kilometers) west of Dublin, at 10 A.M., on 1st April 2006.
His first day's walking will
took him to the ferry terminal at Dublin Port. From there it was
across
the Irish Sea to Holyhead in Wales, through the Welsh valleys and
across the Severn Bridge to Bristol, heading for the port of Plymouth
in south-west England. Then there was another ferry trip to
Santander in
northern Spain, public transport westwards to Galicia and the
re-start
of his walk from Finisterre, the legendary "Finis Terrae", the End of
the World. From Santiago de Compostela, Stephen will follow the
medieval "Camino" in an easterly direction towards the
Pyrenees. Stephen is now in the second stage of his journey
and after crossing into France will be crossing the mountains to southern France, heading toward the
Mediterranean via Lourdes, Carcassonne, Montpellier and Marseille with the goal of Rome, Italy, where he hopes to get a private audience with the Pope.
