St. Martins Way – Dover to Shepherdswell

Setting off on a new pilgrimage route, the St. Martins Way (Dover to Canterbury) on 24/04/2023, I leave the harbour & walk along the River Dour reflecting on the events of recent months and the concept of pilgrimage. Walking through fields surrounded by sheep I enjoy the joys of Spring before arriving in Shepherdswell where the trail converges with the Via Francigena.

Reflections in a Winter Wonderland

Taking a countryside walk surrounded by snow near Ashford, in Kent, on 13/12/2022 I reflect on the differences this year following the previous two Christmases impacted by Covid-19, and how in many ways, because of the ongoing uncertainty with Russia/Ukraine, nothing has changed.

The Royal Saxon Way – Littlebourne to Minster

Leaving Littlebourne on 11/11/2022 following the Royal Saxon Way I appreciate the open space around me and the peacefulness of the Little Stour river. I conclude my pilgrimage with an abrupt arrival in Minster making it for the bus in the nick of time.

The Royal Saxon Way – Bridge to Littlebourne

In this short video, whilst enjoying a peaceful walk along the Royal Saxon Way on 10/11/22 from Bridge to Littlebourne, I speculate about Vladimir Putin’s fear of assassination and draw attention to the importance of family, nature & meditation.

The Royal Saxon Way – Breach to Bridge

Taking a walk on 09/11/22 along the Royal Saxon Way through the Elham Valley, Kent from Breach I enjoy the nature and woodland trail. Whilst I walk I speculate about the forthcoming recession, the prospect of Universal Basic Income before arriving in Bridge in time for the bus.

The Royal Saxon Way – Lyminge to Breach

Setting off from Lyminge along the Royal Saxon Way on 02/11/22 I walk through the tranquil, livestock fields of the Elham Valley. As I progress, I update on the new British Prime Minister and the gloomy circumstances of a hybrid war with Russia; before mulling over the future options to continue my pilgrimage.

The Royal Saxon Way – Folkestone to Lyminge

Walking from Folkestone on 30/09/22 I embark on a new pilgrimage route, the ‘Royal Saxon Way’ with a final destination of Minster, near Ramsgate, Kent.

Taking in the peaceful promenade to the panoramic view of Tolsford Hill onto the day’s end point of Lyminge, I update my feelings about the Queen’s passing, the fall in value of the British pound and the concerning gas leak of Nordstream 2.

NB: At 02:52 I mention the route originates from the ‘Creative Pilgrims’ group, unfortunately I confused this with the nascent Way of Saint Martin; instead this route originates from a collaboration between Kent County Council and Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

The Tolsford Trek

Taking a hike along the walking route known as the ‘Tolsford Trek’ on 27/08/22 I commentate throughout the different stages of my journey. Whilst enjoying the panaroma overlooking the English Channel, passing through thick woodland, climbing tall hills and meandering down a calm track I reflect on the worrying onset of increasing energy prices whilst taking in the spectacular scenery and serenity of nature.

Crises, Blackberries & an ATV

During an urban expedition to find blackberries with my son Edison on 14/08/2022, I update how the news has been dominated by Russia, Ukraine and the worsening cost of living/energy crisis. Whilst Edison rides his ATV I conclude by reflecting on Edison’s progress ahead of his school start date in a few weeks’ time.

Augustine Camino: Preston to Ramsgate

Starting my sixth (and final day) on the Camino Augustine pilgrimage along the banks of the River Stour, on 13/06/2022  I progress through the fertile fields of Kent and experience the peace of Pegwell Bay.  Along the journey I ponder a forthcoming recession, Rwanda and the meaning of Pilgrimage before arriving at St. Augustines Abbey, Ramsgate and collecting my Compostela certificate.
