A leaked document from Eurotunnel gives advance notice of an exciting new project. The company has decided to provide a pathway through the service tunnel beneath the English Channel to allow pilgrims and others to walk uninterrupted from their homes in Great Britain to Santiago/Rome and other continental destinations.
The path will run from Folkestone to Sangatte, and will be single-track with passing places every 500m. A sleeping station will be built at the halfway point, with built-in shelves to accommodate 40 pilgrims.
Reaction from the public was mixed: one walker, who wished to remain anonymous, felt that the single track/passing bay system would cause problems: if meeting another coming from the opposite direction one would have to give way and back up as much as 250m to allow passing. Dan Ibreve, from the company , agreed this could be a cause of conflict, and suggested that alternating north/south convoys could be the answer.
A.Nirgerep, an experienced camino hand was, however, more positive. "I've long wanted to walk non-stop from my doorstep to Praza da Immaculada, and now I have the chance", she enthused.
The company will officially unveil their plans next Friday. :wink:
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Your ticket will be stamped on your credencial, with a symbol of Neptune holding a scallop shell.

Before the tunnel started taking train traffic there was one - just one - occasion when they allowed people to walk it for charity.

A very good acquaintence was the chariman of the company that built the British side of the tunnel and he didn't think to mention the walk to me.

I have regreted that lost opportuntiy ever since so I am probably the only person here who didn't appreciate the joke.

Sorry.

(Though I am glad that others have found it wonderful).
