    London to Walsingham

    Day 2: Tottenham Hale to Broxbourne. Approx 20km Well the forecast was for heavy rain and winds and I thought that it might just bring back memories of walking the Ingles at the start of the month 🤣 I decided to head off. If not, I’d have only sat and watched more TV. I didn’t dress for the...

    The Cornish Celtic Way.

    Oh fantastic! This is on my list as well but with the caveat that I need to understand how slowly or quickly I can walk in order to get the accommodation dialled and booked in advance. I’m so excited to do this, would love to hear how you found it

    London to Walsingham

    I will, just not sure when the next 30+ day is 🤣🤣

    London to Walsingham

    Off I pop again, embarking on yet another UK pilgrimage- there are so many to choose from 🥰 I have now started 3, plus a cycling one 🫣 Of course I decided on the hottest day of late summer to start my little journey. Makes complete sense, who doesn’t like to swelter in 30+ degree heat? Having...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Why saddened? Is it because I technically didn’t walk the whole route?

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    @Kirkie You can probably tell from my writing, how I can turn the most mundane and make it melodramatic! I just had a little imposter syndrome going on, and I was alone, so my head hyped it up a little is all. Don’t fret little pet is going to become a mantra to me 😂

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Ta-da!! Although I did not complete the ‘pilgrim register’. As you walk into the tower there is a reception desk and she gave me a stamp and upsold me with the certificate and badge but didn’t mention the register and I was so happy I forgot! In my guidebook there was a one page supplement...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Day 5: Winchester to Southampton (15 miles) Final day! I’m actually done and on the train bound for London. Feeling a little sad that it has ended but had yet another marvellous day so here it is. Unfortunately it was another terrible nights sleep, by 3am I just told myself to quit scrolling...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Day 4: New Arlesford to Winchester (11 miles) This pilgrimage is coming to an end far too soon. In many ways it has far surpassed my experience of Porto to Santiago last year. I suffered yet another fretful night last night, the 3 pints of full fat Coke might have had a helping hand in that...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    You will both have such a fantastic time! Hopefully the Bridle Path Beasts would have dried out by then 😄

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    I am really loving this route, other than the Bridle Path Beast! Leather boots my friend, leather boots…

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Day 3: longest day so far 16 miles from Worting to New Arlesford. Another wonderful day on the Camino. But let’s start with last night. I was broken and had a pounding headache. I took 3 ibuprofen and crawled into bed at 6:30. I was a rock, just couldn’t move, every part of me was so tired...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Ditto! I saw 2 I think on day one. None today I don’t think

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Yes I will be following this with the Ingles from Coruña, when finances permit. That will then leave the Ingles from Ferrol as a full route if I was ever to do that one too.

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Day 2: Wowsers, what can I say, the scenery is breathtaking. Fields of yellow, fields of green shimmering in the gentle breeze. A section of 2 halves, Beauty and the Beast. Leaving Mortimer I stopped at the cafe and had a coffee and used the facilities one last time before I hit the road. It...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    So I read a post on here last night that said the GPX file from the British Pilgrimage Trust, which I am using, does not have the route as suggested by the Confraternity of St James. Reading the directions and staring at a map last night, the 4 gentlemen were actually on the route whereas it was...

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    So I decided to get a head start on yet another Camino that has a UK element and am walking the St James Way from Reading to Southampton over the next 5 days. Day one, firstly, stunning weather. Having checked Google Maps to find out when St James Church was open, I planned my arrival from...

    A Camino of blisters and broken things
