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:
