[QUOTE="Ramblanista, post: 414098, member: 23656"] Having toyed with the idea of hiking the Tunel route in reverse at the end of my field trip I'm now contemplating doing it the 'right' way round as a precursor to joining the Frances at Burgos. This is partly because I've been alarmed by some of the reports of girt, humungeous numbers of pilgrims setting out from St Jean - some of which I'm taking with the proverbial pinch of salt - but also because I think the research might benefit from having a less-well hiked camino to compare with the Frances experience, especially since I walked the Frances in 2012. I would have liked to carry out fieldwork on a less busy camino but I need numbers and I need to revisit previous landscapes. I'm a student at Exeter University, England, engaged in research that brings together geography and theology as well as aspects of anthropology and ethnography and, of course, Pilgrim Studies. I'm looking at how pilgrims and hikers respond to the landscape in ways that might be considered religious, spiritual or emotional. I'm interested in how specific landscapes - such as the meseta or the climb to O Cebreiro - might certain responses but also how the accumulation of days spent on the trail might enhance their impact or produce different landscape 'experiences'. The project was inspired by a spiritual/religious landscape experience of my own on the Ruta Dragonte section of the Frances in 2012 though I should stress that it's not confined to those with religious/spiritual beliefs. I shall be hiking the Camino as a pilgrim and a researcher and hoping to talk to people, informally, as I encounter them and/or walk alongside them. As I'm arguing that these experiences are produced, at least in part, by personal background and motivations for walking the camino I'd like a bit of autobiographical detail, within the usual ethical guidelines, of course. It looks like I'll be setting off from Irun on Sunday 24 July, though the hike actually begins on the Le Puy route and gets to Irun via Roncevalles and the GR11. If anyone's on the trail at about that time and would like to be part of my research please do get in touch. I'm expecting most of my encounters to be spontaneous but my supervisors would be happy if I had something pre-arranged. Mine is a very informal methodology, particpant observation at its most particpatory.
