This week on the podcast we have a conversation with Geraldine McFaul, from Glasgow, who spent six months walking from her home to Rome, a journey of around 2,000 miles.

There were two rules – no backpack, and no Alps. Did that work out? Well, no. The trek also raised money for two good causes with links to her late parents; Mary's Meals and Dementia UK. She averaged 12 miles a day pulling her trailer on roads through Scotland, England, France, Switzerland and finally Italy.

The culmination of the journey saw McFaul get to meet the Pope at the Vatican.
