A short lazy day, ambling in the sunshine along the banks of the River Little Ouse – my legs thanked me for it. The stage today was only 16km according to the guide, 3 hours max I reckoned. Check out wasn’t until 1100h, I stayed in bed to about 0800h. Did some supply shopping, gotContinue reading “Walsingham Camino Day Eight – Brandon”

Walsingham Camino Day Seven – Thetford
My mate from my years in Norfolk popped on his bike to meet me in Bury for the night, and brought a special delivery. Thanks to the wonders of internet shopping, my drone has been replaced! We had a good catch up having not met up in 13 years! Time flies, but nothing changed, itContinue reading “Walsingham Camino Day Seven – Thetford”
Walsingham Camino Day Six – Bury St. Edmunds
It has been a rewarding day but also brutal, 38km the longest day of my planned routes for this Camino. I was up at 0550h. I didn’t get much sleep from noise of the traffic outside and fellow residents walking up and down the corridor all night, over very creaky floorboards. But you get whatContinue reading “Walsingham Camino Day Six – Bury St. Edmunds”
Walsingham Camino Day Five – Havershill
The first bit of sun on the walk, the views have finally revealed themselves – if only I had a drone to capture them. A quick breakfast then I was out the doors at 0800h. I made my way to the start of the stage and headed Northeast out of the town into the countryside.Continue reading “Walsingham Camino Day Five – Havershill”
Walsingham Camino Day Two – Ware
Another grey start to the day, the last nights rain had ceased thankfully. I returned to the church to start the next stage and set my GPS on the go. I rejoined the towpath and followed it through the Lea Valley. Runners and the waterfowl were my company for the day. The peace and quietContinue reading “Walsingham Camino Day Two – Ware”
Walsingham Camino Day One – Waltham Abbey
It was a fairly murky start to the day with the high rises obscured by the clouds. By 0730h I had begun my first steps on this pilgrimage. From the church of St. Magnus the Martyr, the route followed the Thames, skirting around the Tower of London, through wharfs that have now been converted intoContinue reading “Walsingham Camino Day One – Waltham Abbey”
The Eve of The Walsingham Way
I arrived in the big smoke with no hassle on the eve of my Walsingham Camino. By midday I had dumped my bag off at the hostel and left, with one goal. Get the three London cathedral stamps for my passport and the stamp from St Magnus the Martyr. The starting point for the pilgrimage.Continue reading “The Eve of The Walsingham Way”
I Can Hear the Soft Sound of Stones Crunching Underfoot
Firstly, I’ve done a little video of my recent one day walk with the British Pilgrimage Trust. Not quite on the scale of my Norte one, but it will kill 6 mins of your time. It can be found here: With completing my video and doing a fair bit of walking in the current springContinue reading “I Can Hear the Soft Sound of Stones Crunching Underfoot”
BPT – West Stow to Bury St. Edmunds
This was my first guided pilgrimage with the British Pilgrimage Trust. A charity that has a goal of revitalising the ancient British pilgrim routes. My mum joined me on this walk and we met everyone at the train station, where we caught lifts from fellow pilgrims to St. Mary’s at West Stow. A quaint littleContinue reading “BPT – West Stow to Bury St. Edmunds”
Wolf and Water Day Pilgrimage
The New Year has been and gone, the frigid weather is on it’s way out, and I’m itching to get on another thru hike or pilgrimage. I had some leave to use up before I lose it at the end of the financial year. Looking at the rota I managed to add on two daysContinue reading “Wolf and Water Day Pilgrimage”
