Well, we made it to Rome! Didn't manage the whole distance - for various injury reasons, but marched at least the distance of Hadrian's Wall. Had the privilege of being met at the Porta Appia on the final day by Marcus Valerius Longinus and 7 comrades. They escorted us all the way to the Colosseum, where thousands (literally) of people took our photos. A surreal and amazing experience, and we raised some more money too.
Soon to be a documentary, available on DVD...
