Other (non-Camino) Pilgrimage Routes

Here is a list of blog posts I have written about other Pilgrimage routes:




The Pilgrim's Way
There are a few posts in August 2014 from me walking the Pilgrim's Way (which connects to the via Francigena to Rome in Canterbury) but this post has some general information: http://footprintsonthecamino.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/pilgrimage-to-canterbury.html
St Swithun's Way: http://footprintsonthecamino.blogspot.co.uk/2014_10_01_archive.html
Canterbury Cathedral: http://footprintsonthecamino.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/canterbury-cathedral-pilgrimage-site.html
If you want to read someone else's blog on the Pilgrims' Way then check out https://wilkosontheway.wordpress.com/ which is written by Andrew Wilkos and charts his and his siblings' walk in aid of charity



Saint Michel's Mont (France):

If I haven't yet written something about a route you're interested in then please let me know and I can see what I can do or it's worth looking at Ivar's Camino de Santiago forum which has a section on 'Other Pilgrimages' at https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/#other-pilgrimage-routes.155 where you can perhaps ask questions to people who have walked those routes

 A few links to sites about Pilgrimages I haven't blogged about:

The Camino Primitivo

The Camino Primitivo (or the Original Way) is reportedly the very first Camino Way to Santiago in the 9 th century when most of Spain was under the control of the Moors and it runs from near the city of Ovideo in Asturias as it starts in Villavicosa (which also lies on the Camino Norte so many people follow this Way from   Basque city of San Sebastian (Donosti in Basque) or in from the French border at Irun ( this route then hugs the Bay of Biscay passing through Guernica, Bilbao, Santander, Llanes before going under the Picos de Europa and then heads along the coast to Ovideo) before branching off onto the Primitivo which goes across the mountains and through the city of Lugo before joining the Frances at Melide. The route is 320km long. Image taken from https://viaalpina2013.wordpress.com/2013/04/14/camino-del-norte-camino-primitivo/

Pilgrim Prayer - Columba

Columba was an Irish monk (who founded several monasteries in Ireland) who sailed with 12 others to the island of Iona just off the west coast of Scotland. The Abbey he funded became one of the powerhouses of Mediaeval Christendom. He lived from 7th December 521 until 9th June 597. Alone with none but thee, my God, I journey on my way. What need I fear, when thou art near O king of night and day? More safe am I within thy hand Than if a host did round me stand. Be thou a bright flame before me, Be thou a guiding star above me, Be thou a smooth path below me, Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me, Today, tonight and forever.
