Well, I got the feeling that they were not too interested in this... I will re-visit the question in a while and see what they say.sillydoll said:That'll be great Ivar - will we be able to bok rooms there through you?
JohnnieWalker said:Again, the above numbers reflect only those pilgrims who qualified for, and requested, the Composela. As has been mentioned several times, it is estimated that the total number of pilgrims in the various Caminos at any one time is about five times the number of those who do receive the Compostela.

Bridget and Peter said:Thanks, Johnny, for that - very interesting reading. I am really surprised by how few the non-catholics and UK pilgrims are - the two are obviously linked. But the UK CSJ is such a strong organisation ? I suppose my perception is skewed by this being an english language forum?
And the enormous difference in the numbers between the Frances and the other routes!
sillydoll said:There was brief discussion about this at San Roque albergue a few days ago.
A pilgrim complained about the albergues filling up from Sarria with mainly small pack, few days walking, Spanish pilgrims.
A Spanish pilgrim responded by saying that there are too many foreigners walking the camino and that Spanish pilgrims who pay the taxes for basic services like water, roads, electricity etc and who want to earn a Compostela, have to compete with hoards of foreigners for beds on the way to Santiago.

tyrrek said:As someone from the UK, I must admit I was surprised when doing the Frances this year how few British there were, even allowing for the relatively secular society here. I've got no idea why apart from a general lack of awareness.
JohnnieWalker said:The total numberof pilgrims recieved in the Pilgrims Office during September is: 26,008
That makes the total to date: 161,925
There is clearly a surge in pilgrims from the antipodes - why so?
Any views?
You can get the statistics by month from the Pilgrim Office website, so seasonal information is available (though not by country breakdown after the first few countries, so you won't be able to track Australian pilgrims by month). Do you just want to know that more Oceania pilgrims go in the summer?Without access to the seasonal stats, which are not published by the pilgrim office,

Could it have something to do with Britain being overwhelmingly Protestant?
The two pilgrim routes I had in mind are:-tyrrek said:.........
I'm also interested in Tia Valeria's post about a potential revival of pilgrim routes within the UK. I imagine these would be places such as Canterbury, Lindisfarne, Iona?

Now Johnnie my friend- please clarify what exactly you mean by antipodean? You surely don't just mean Australian??!!! In fact, Madrid and Wellington in NZ are the exact antipodes of each other, and I will be in Wellington next week. Now, if only I can make my shovel dig straight, I could be in Madrid for New Year....JohnnieWalker said:And 2010 for antipodean friends: 1162
JohnnieWalker said:Yikes - a minefield! I meant the Australian and New Zealand total.
tyrrek said:I know I'm drifting off topic a bit (and I'm genuinely interested rather than being rhetorical), but where does the idea that pilgrimage is a Catholic practice come from?
