    Other Long Distance Trails

    Hi Eric, I walked the Hadrian's Wall path last August from East to West and if I could recommend anything, it would be to go West to East to have the wind with you, rather than against :) If you wanted something slightly longer and very beautiful, I highly recommend the Coast to Coast...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    Hi Lettinggo, I have just finally calculated all the costs and added a page on my blog with the breakdown, click here to see the post. The total cost was JPY 406,484. At today's exchange rate this is GBP £2,144 and USD $3,338. This includes everything from flights, all accommodation, food...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    Hi Lettinggo, I have a plastic bag full of Japanese receipts for pretty much my entire pilgrimage, but until now it's been too daunting a task to go through and add up all the costs! It's now on top of my list, so I'll post an update back in this thread when I have a total cost and breakdown :)...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    I agree Eric. When I finished walking I described it as the toughest walk I'd done and even one year on when we tend to forget the difficulties of a walk and only remember the highlights, I still describe it as the hardest walk I've ever done! But surprisingly (to me) I would walk it again...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    I've finally got around to putting my photos together into a slideshow, for anyone wanting to go on a photographic tour of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage from the comfort of your couch :) The trail, the flora and fauna (read snakes!), the food, accommodation, locals... hopefully this will...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    Thanks Kitsambler, I guess on the plus side I didn't get bitten by any bed bugs (I did on both caminos!) :)

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    Wanderer 64 - どうもありがとうございます! (Doomo Arigatou Gozaimusu) If you ever want someone to talk to at length about walking in Japan, fire away! (I lived in Tokyo for 7 years and went hiking as often as I could). I haven't read the book you mentioned, but I'm going to check if I can get it for my...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    Hi Suzanne, Yes there's a brilliant hike there and very well marked but half of the "traditional" route is currently closed. The main blue route runs between Monterosso in the north and goes through Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and finishes is Riomaggiore, or vice versa. Due to a landslide...

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    It certainly was an adventure but the UK also has adders and Lyme disease carrying ticks so what's a few poisonous centipedes, hornets and bears? ;) Honestly though it was the toughest experience I've ever had and Japanese people believe snakes are lucky so maybe I just got lucky? Buen camino!

    A different Camino, the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage

    (sorry Moderators, I didn't know where to put this, so please feel free to move it) I walked the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Japan at the end of last year and have finally uploaded all the details onto my blog here. There's not much information out there about this walk, only one guidebook...
