What are the chances? Well, obviously high as it turns out. The photo is of a happy looking Kader Boujnane, who's just finished the third day of his four day, 400 kms run from central France to Paris. He and his team (note to self, must get a team) just turned up to eat. So, he's done half the distance I've done in a mere four days. And he's still full of energy.
But you know I was moaning about my ankle being a bit swollen and painful - well he's got the same problem but his swelling is massive and he's hobbling yet still going to run the last stretch into Paris tomorrow.
So, I'll shut up complaining and get back to walking. I'm seriously impressed by the guy.
Slow adventures in the worlds of horse travel and global horse lore, guitars and harps, long walks with minimal kit, inspiring books and websites, second-hand-cycle trips, pilgrimages, poetry, birds, sailing and sea-kayaking, quotes, simplicity, hats, Ireland, Patagonia, North Africa and further afield, good-bad country songs, maps, fish, hammock camping, hand-crafts and hand-tools, foraging, fires, pencil sketches and dancing. Often posts on subjects that are none of the above.

About Me
- jasper winn
- I'm an independent writer on wilderness activities, slow adventures, traditional horsemanship and odd stuff. I'm the author of Paddle; A long way around Ireland (Sort Of Books), and i was the story consultant on the IMAX documentary on cowboy cultures across the globe, Ride Around The Word. The Slow Adventure sends reports back from the front-line of a slow and simple life; horses, kayaks, guitars, long walks, travel, books, simplicity, trains, travel, wildlife and the occasional thrill.
