Back in 2018, January 2018, nearly two years ago, wow, I played a presentation given by Will and Guy from the British

Pilgrimage Trust and lots of you wrote into me to say how inspiring you had found the talk.

Well, I invited Guy to come and talk at this year's Andereda Fest and managed to record the talk for the podcast.

He does go over a couple of things that were covered before, but a lot of this talk was new.

Once again, his talk was inspirational.

And yes, this is part of the Camino.

And suddenly in that moment, I had an awareness of the hundreds of thousands of people over the course of centuries that have walked past that castle.
