Author Andy Bull explained: “I was conscious that many people would love to go on a pilgrimage. We’ve all seen TV series such as The Road to Rome and The Road to Santiago, and they show that even the averagely unfit celeb can hobble through one.
“But who’s got the time to walk Spain’s Camino, the Via Francigena through France and Italy or even the Pilgrims’ Way from London to Canterbury? Certainly I haven’t. I needed something I could complete in a weekend.
“I went into my local Waterstones on the look-out for a good guide to short pilgrimages. But I couldn’t find one so I set out to research some suitable routes for myself. I found 20, and decided to see if a publisher would agree with me that there was a market for a book, called Pilgrim Pathways, for what you might call Weekend Pilgrims: people with limited time and busy lives who would love to go on a pilgrimage if they could.
