Day 55: 16.6 miles from Altenstein to the end point, Coburg. We left the route slightly today to visit a lovely historical town called SeBlach, after a quick bite to eat we headed to our end location of coburg while talking about how I felt during the walk. No words will truly tell you how I felt as I walked into Coburg and the market square with a group gathered under an arch waiting for my arrival. Round Table 151 Coburg were amazing hosts, with a rope cutting, interview and visit to the mayors balcony. An absolutely incredible day. I am very tired from the walk but also the emotions.
Thank you all.
