In 2013, recently retired Norfolk couple, Bruce and Julia Wallis, decided to backpack the 500-mile trek across the French Pyrenees and all the way across the north of Spain to the cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela, following the centuries-old pilgrims' route of the Camino.

It recalls the people, the places, the personal struggles that they faced on their long walk together.
