Lessons Learned from Solo Walking Three Ancient WaysBy J. F. PennLength2h 57m
About this audiobook
Do you enjoy travel memoirs with a combination of personal reflection and practical tips? Are you interested in solo walking, or are you considering walking the Camino de Santiago or other multi-day walks?
In this book, I share my lessons learned and insights from walking three ancient ways, as well as historical, religious and cultural aspects, and plenty of tips. There are also questions for you to consider around your own journey. It covers aspects of the Camino de Santiago, The Pilgrims' Way, and St Cuthbert's Way.
Part 1 goes into practical and spiritual preparation before pilgrimage.
Part 2 covers the journey itself with practicalities
Part 3 addresses the arrival at your destination, and how to leave room for the gifts of pilgrimage to emerge after your return home, as well as how my three walks impacted my experience of mid-life.
