St James Way: Reading to Southampton
Update on reporting footpath issues in the county of Hampshire. I've had a reply from the council on facebook advising that issues can be e-mailed to the support them at countryside@hants.gov.uk explaining that I don't want to create an account as I'm only visiting the area, and to include as... -

St James Way: Reading to Southampton
Congratulations on completing the route, Tommy. I too have noticed a fair amount of pilgrim signatures in church guestbooks. I see that on the Hampshire county council website there is a page where issues with public rights of way can be reported, I tried using it to report a tree that had... -

St James Way: Reading to Southampton
Sorry to hear of your negative experiences @Trishb Maybe it's because I walk paths like this in the area quite regularly that I think nothing of them, so far this route has felt just like other walks in South East England but I'd agree that some of the little used UK footpaths can be a bit... -

St James Way: Reading to Southampton
Fantastic walk report and photos, thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. Did you write a date next to the stamps in your credencial and did they check this when you received your certificate? I'll be walking this route over a few weekends and wonder if I'd need to stamp... -

Walking Camino Ingles Between Christmas and New Year?
I don't get much free vacation time due to work, family and other commitments, but my place of work is always closed between Christmas and New year so I have this time free every year. I'm from England so walking in colder/wetter weather is no problem. 😂 Is anything open between December 26th...- B1nky

Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers
Wow, this really is not ok! Did anyone complain? Is there any system in place where other Albergues on the route can be warned about problematic people like this?- B1nky

Hello From The UK
I've walked the first few miles from Reading along the canal to Theale and have done a section around the old Roman town at Silchester. So far everything is well signed. The guidebook from the CSJ is handy and I've also found a google maps of the route online. I'll be going back to where I...- B1nky

Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers
Reminds me of a story I heard about a bothy (mountain shelter) in Wales where a group which included a heavy snorer volunteered to sleep in the adjoining wood shed so they wouldn't disturb others who were using the place! I don't think seperating snorers would work as some people are unaware...- B1nky

"The British pilgrimage problem" - magazine article
An interesting article and thread. I agree with others that accommodation is an issue, even with parts of some national trails in the UK the only options can be expensive, some distance away from the trail or both. There aren't as many youth hostels as there were and it's often hard to get a... -

Thames Path advice
I'm currently walking the Kennet and Avon in the other direction. I have 2 days worth of walking left to do, Bradford-on Avon to Bristol. The canal from near Theale to the centre of Reading is also part of the St. James Way. Yes the St. James Way is a recognised Camino route and distance walked... -

St James Way (Southern England)
A great write up, thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and photos. It's interesting to see where you'd started and finished each day, I'm considering doing the St. James Way as a series of day/weekends walks, returning by public transport as I live fairly close to the Northern... -
