Route and plan of the expedition

Karolina and Adam plan to walk about two thousand kilometres, starting their journey in Warrington, England.

The exact course, daily stages and overnight stops have not been specified in the available materials. The end date follows from the assumption of about three months and is approximate.

Purpose of the journey: meeting their son

The main reason for the expedition is the couple’s wish to meet their son, Kajetan, who lives in Kraków. The participants assume they will reach the city before Christmas Eve so they can spend that evening together with their son. This deadline sets the framework for the whole undertaking.

The planned trip combines a long march across several European countries with arriving to see a close family member. The announcement contains no information about accompanying events or whether any welcome will take place on arrival.
