I recently came across an article published a couple of years ago by our friend Nick Hunt, he who walked in Patrick Leigh Fermor’s footsteps in 2011 and 2012. His book, Walking the Woods and the Water (Nicholas Brealey, 2014), tells the story of that 2,500-mile walk from the Hook of Holland to Istanbul.

If you are new to Nick and his work do a search on the site or click the category tag here. At the time many of us sponsored Nick and followed his progress prior to publication of the book.

The article is called Traveling At The Speed Of The Soul, and was published in Noema. It is an enjoyable read and explores the three stages of a pilgrimage — departure, initiation and return — with a focus on the last which Nick says ‘is the least examined and perhaps most important.’

You can read the full article here.
