Overview
Robert Muirhead walked more than 3500 kilometres on a number of long pilgrimages in Europe, following ancient pilgrim routes that still criss-cross the continent. Some of those amazing journeys are described in the book. Find out how his days unfolded and how he coped with the challenges and problems that confronted him. Walk in his footsteps as he marvels at the wonders of the natural world around him, as well as the towns and other sites of interest he visited. Meet the people he met and share his joy in the kindness and inspiration he received from them. Pilgrimage is still relevant in our modern hectic world, and is undergoing a resurgence in Europe. The author explains why modern pilgrims undertake such long journeys. The book is not a specialist guidebook, but the Appendices contain practical information based on the author's personal experience that will help first-time pilgrims. Learn about planning, setting goals and what you should take on the journey. There is advice on mental and physical preparation; as well as advice on food, water, accommodation, health and safety.
