How technology enhanced my walk

I’m a bit of a tech fan, so I decided to make my walk as technologically-enabled as possible.   I used technology help in navigation, finding accommodation, writing a blog, taking photographs, and keeping in touch.   It enhanced my journey, saved weight and effort, and made me feel safer.
