    on being a (more) broken pilgrim

    I was walking The Cistercian Way this autumn and hurt my knee. It was bad enough to have to pull out for 4 weeks. As part of my report and reflection on the route, I have written a bit on the experience of this injury and convalescence here...

    the cistercian way - report

    I've written a reflection and report on my pilgrimage along the Cistercian Way which I have posted here: https://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2016/11/30/walking-the-cistercian-way-on-becoming-a-more-broken-pilgrim-part-1/ It will be in three or four parts as it is too long for one blog post. The...

    picking up the Cistercian Way

    After hurting my knee badly four weeks ago, I am recovered enough to head back to Wales tomorrow and start walking again. I'm doing the final week or so - from Abergavenny round to Penrhys. To protect my knee I will be travelling very light this time, mainly spending the night with friends...

    Walter Starkie

    I'm using some of the time I have while my knee heals up to re-read Walter Starkie's seminal 'The Road to Santiago', his account of pilgrimage in 1954 (while drawing on a couple of pilgrimages in the 1920's). I haven't read it for several years, and it is excellent - do read it if you can, it...

    a (more) broken pilgrim

    I am supposed to be in the middle of walking The Cistercian Way, a 700 mile pilgrimage around Wales. As always when I set off on a long pilgrimage I promised that I would only stop for two reasons: an emergency call from home or a medical professional telling me to stop. After 10 days I...

    I've had a go at detailing my kit list for my upcoming pilgrimage on the Cistercian Way (700 miles round Wales) here: https://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2016/08/25/cistercian-way-kit-list/ Comments welcome - I'm trying to shave off weight, but am aware that I need to camp a lot of the way and...

    the cistercian way

    I will be walking the Cistercian Way around Wales in September and October. Details here: https://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2016/07/16/the-cistercian-way/ Will be interesting if I pick up any traces of Santiago. I'm starting and finishing at Penrhys which was the major Marian Shrine in South...

    memories!

    It's a long time since I walked the Levante. It was my first Camino - tough and incredibly good. I hadn't thought about it that much for a while (I'm looking forward to a big pilgrimage around Wales next year) but a meditation on the Levante and the Feasts of Mary has just emerged...

    LIVE from the Camino coruna

    I'm off on Sunday with a small group of friends for a short (and wet!) pilgrimage from A Coruna to Santiago with a few days of Retreat in Santiago at the end. If I get the chance I will blog, but I suspect I am more likely to report back afterwards. If you have anything you want us to pray...

    the two saints way

    I've been walking the beginning of The Two Saints Way. This is a recently re-established version of the medieval route between Chester and Lichfield. I've put a route report here: http://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2012/1 ... ay-report/ with links to the very good information site. I...

    patrick leigh fermor

    I really enjoyed reading Patrick Leigh Fermor's kit list from his epic walk across Europe in the 1930's which is here: http://pilgrimpace.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/kit-list/ It is a very beautiful piece of writing - and very different gear from most of us! Andy

    Does anyone have a jpeg of this statue that they could let me have: http://onthecamino.squarespace.com/pict ... ia/1843890 it's very meaningful and I would probably reproduce it on my blog (with permission and acknowledgement). Also, does anyone know the sculptor? thanks, Andy

    roads to santiago

    In 'Roads to Santiago' Cees Nooteboom writes: The historian Labande defines the medieval pilgrim as “a Christian who at some point in his life makes the decision to travel to a particular place and who surrenders his entire existence to achieving that goal”. Does anyone know where the Labande...
