We are two very ordinary people who have elected to quit the world of business and begin to live out our dreams as pilgrim riders. We hope that this site will:
keep and extend the contacts we have made
help others to undertake similar adventures
encourage maintenance of the pathways that
make our journeys possible
Pilgrim and Pilgrimages?
We have no formal religious beliefs, but we share a wanderlust and a need to know about and contribute to the world we occupy.
Riders?
We have chosen to make our adventures on horse-back through a confusion of personal history, accident and romance, but are happy that we did. Horses, like small children, create an instant rapport with people from many cultures and act as not only our means of transport, but also a key to the relationships that emerge on the road.
We have completed three pilgrimages so far:
2005, The St James Way to Santiago de Compostela - on horseback
2006, The Via Francigena to Rome - on horseback
2007, The Via Francigena to Rome by bicycle - tracking the route with GPS and gathering data for their guidebooks.
