There is a symposium organised by the British Pilgrimage Trust being held in London on 17th April. Although the majority of their website focuses on walking, I'm thinking of turning my travel into a 'cycling pilgrimage'. I'm interested in the speakers:
Tom Holland (author)
Phoebe Smith (adventurer)
Dr Rupert Sheldrake (biologist)
Galahad Clark (cobbler)
Ruby Reed (co-founder of Advaya)
I think a pilgrimage is different to a touring holiday, in the sense of the intention with which a person sets out. If I go on a touring holiday, or if I go on a cycling-pilgrimage, there may be no practical difference, but there is a difference in my heart and head. I'm going to have to resist the temptation to ask Galahad if he has "Cobblers to the King" above his front door.
Sharing in case this nudges your interest.
