Rowan Tree and Red Thread

A friend of mine and all round good egg, James Wallis, is walking the Pilgrims' Way from Winchester to Canterbury for the charity Cancerbackup. He's taking the route pilgrims took in the Middle Ages and he's trying to do it without the modern gadgets and aids, other than the occasional look at a map. Trust him to get lost a couple of times.

James plans to blog the details of the walk preparations on a new blog, which looks set to be as entertaining and witty as his writing usually is. Recommended reading and a recommended cause. Here's wishing him good shoes and the wind at his back.
