Ann Sieben- Winter Pilgrim

[KiwiNomad06]

All during our summer, I have been following a most remarkable winter pilgrim's blog. Ann Sieben has walked to Santiago previously as a pilgrim, and she has also walked to Rome. Her latest pilgrimage was not to Santiago, (so strictly speaking this is a little 'off topic') but instead she was following the paths of St Andrew. She left from Kyiv in the Ukraine mid-November, and she has just arrived in Patras in Greece, having walked a distance of over 4,400km.
Her blog gives a wonderful insight into her pilgrimage, a very solitary one, and one in which she had to trust in the goodness of local people.

I'll second that Margaret. This is a most intriguing blog and brings ones own fears about bed spaces and clear signage etc into perspective. Though I wouldn't have the 'bottle' or physical stamina for the mega winter pilgrimages of this type :shock: I'm filled with admiration for Ann- an inspirational pilgrim and blogger.
