Des Tinney x Camino De Santiago - Young Hearts Run Free Podcast - Season 12 Eps 4

We said we’d take you on a global adventure in Season 12, and we’re sticking to that promise! Our Des-tination this week is mainland Europe, and we’re off on quite the adventure with this week’s guest and long-time pal of the show Des Tinney. Des took on a huge personal quest recently by completing the Camino De Santiago in Northern Spain. 496 miles that is. He did so for a very special cause, and he’s here to tell us all. We first find out what lit his fire to take on the epic route, his why. Before we are whisked off to Espana for a quite terrific debrief of Des’s epic pilgrimage. We’re glad to report that although the running content is plentiful we get time to focus on other matters close to our heart, like fountains that run with wine for instance. Raising money as part of his endeavour helped drive him along the multi-day and Des lets us know about his charity, The Celtic Foundation, and how inspiration drawn from their cause as well as the folks who donated helped keep him motivated to keep on trucking. Even when the going got tough! Tales of hostels with bunk beds as high as Ben Nevis, 3 course meals for 12 euros and making plenty of new pals top off this absolute belter of an episode. STOP PRESS: We also reveal the Season 12 Turning Japanese LeBuffBuff in our intro, don’t hang about to grab the super limited edition headwear inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun!
