Join me as I tread where the early saints trod on this ancient pilgrimage route from Winchester to Portsmouth, a hilly 29 mile trek. Pilgrims travelled this route to board ships that sailed across the sea to holy sites in Christendom, most would go to St Michaels in France, others would continue along the Camino route to the Shrine of St James in Santiago de Compostela in Spain - no doubt some marched this way to reclaim the Holy Land.
In this first half I walk through the great Hampshire countryside and stop off at a few sites of interest and (do my best to) explain their historical importance.
