I know what you mean. But on the Via Francigena, I am kinda comparing it with the Camino and thinking I’d rather be on my way to Santiago, not here in Northern France heading to Italy. Here’s the musings from a week ago: https://readingtheroad.com/2023/04/17/on-french-soil-assailed-by-doubts/
Canterbury, fascinating history, but the connection to pilgrimage is marginal. And what there is seems to be more about Becket’s bones than something looking outwards and across into Via Francigena. We start out tomorrow and here’s my blog musing over things before we begin the walk😊...
I usually blog whenever I am walking. And I know many others on this forum do too. If you want to check out mine, it is at <www.readingtheroad.com> if you are happy to share your VF blog, I would be keen to read what you are writing and perhaps also cross post when appropriate?
we are setting out from Canterbury on easter Monday. And wondered if anyone in this group might be on the same path around that time? And of course all advice from those who have gone before is welcome🙏🏽😊
Has anyone come across an English translation of Crime en Compostela? The Guardian article on Galician noir says that was kind of the start of it. Would LOVE to read it!
