Blogging Via Francigena

[Hurry Krishna]

I usually blog whenever I am walking. And I know many others on this forum do too. If you want to check out mine, it is at <www.readingtheroad.com> if you are happy to share your VF blog, I would be keen to read what you are writing and perhaps also cross post when appropriate?

Had a quick look at your blog and you mention a 1300km distance. Are you stopping part way?

The sign outside the Cathedral in Canterbury has a figure of 1800km for the VF which is 1300 miles. Hope I haven't added to your burden

not planning to walk all the way to Canterbury on this trip- only through to St Bernard’s Pass or a bit beyond

We walked on the VF in 2017 from near Milan to Siena. We kept a blog. Haven't opened it in a while and just saw that many of the photos aren't showing up but some do. Entries are in reverse chronological order. After we reached Siena we went back to Lucca and spent about a week there. That's why the first few pages are about our time in Lucca. You might want to skip over those to get to the walking parts.

(For some if you click where a photo is supposed to be, a larger version of the photo pops up.)

Looking forward to looking at your blog.

These days it's more like 2000+km, if you follow the signage. If you get the excellent Lightfoot guides they will give variant, often shorter, routes which follow the historic VF.

I will be following your journey, as mine begins early June this year.

I just saw The Journey last night… where Andrea Bocelli rides the 200 miles horseback.. I didn’t even realize he was doing it when I booked them movie… I thought he was just “riding in the Italian countryside..and I’ll be in Italy before in do My Camino in October -then they saw a woman on the road and ask “Are you a Pilgrim?… and she shouted back ..Yes..I am a Pilgrim—incredible!

We walked the VF in 2021 and vlogged the trip at TogetherOnFoot.com if interested.
