Day Five #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Wallingford to Abingdon

By akasajoti on Fri, 16 Jun, 2023 - 22:14

Day Five was a 13 mile stretch, of wildflowers and familiar landscapes, arriving (or rather, skippingā€¦) into Ratnadhariniā€™s hometown of Abingdon, where she is visiting her mum for a rest day tomorrow. At this halfway point, she reflects on the how supported she feels by the Sangha, and on the purpose of the whole thing: to support womenā€™s ordination training inĀ Triratnaā€¦šŸŒ¼šŸŽ‰šŸ™šŸ»

SheĀ writes:

Day five - Wallingford to Abingdon, 13 miles. Still hot, and route a bit more exposed. Entering familiar territory skirting...

Day Four #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Henley to Wallingford

By akasajoti on Thu, 15 Jun, 2023 - 22:09

Emergency provisions, flowering dog roses, and a pre-historic ridgeway through beech woodlandsā€¦Ā šŸŖ„šŸŒ¹šŸ¦–šŸŒ³

RatnadhariniĀ writes:

Day four - Henley to Wallingford; a mere 12.5 miles, mainly on beautiful tracks through beech woods. The final section was along the chalky Ridgeway path; Iā€™m familiar with other sections, but not this one - which is accompanied by the prehistoric Grimā€™s Ditch. Forgot to bring lunch, so survived on emergency rations of peanuts and an energy bar - then came across a Church offering free tea and...

Day Three #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Windsor to Henley

By akasajoti on Wed, 14 Jun, 2023 - 23:39

Brambles, blisters and a kingfisherā€¦Ā šŸŒžšŸŒø

SheĀ writes:

Windsor to Henley; 18 miles and the longest of the first 5 days, so a relief to have managed it. Thames path to Maidenhead, then I cut across to Henley on the Berkshire loop of the Chiltern Way and local footpaths (which meant bramble scratches and nettle stings). Henley-on-Thames is a pretty town, famous for the annual boatĀ race.

Day Two #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Shepperton to Windsor

By akasajoti on Tue, 13 Jun, 2023 - 23:30

SheĀ writes:

Day Two: Shepperton to Windsor (although Iā€™m actually staying across the bridge in Eton) - still following the Thames. ā€˜Onlyā€™ 14.5 miles, but it felt as strenuous as yesterdayā€™s 17; so Iā€™m nervous about tomorrowā€™s 18. Iā€™ll start early, but thereā€™s no avoiding the heat. Iā€™ve got a great rain/sun hat, and am carrying lots of water. Really appreciate the video messages fromĀ friends!

Iā€™ve walked past some stunning riverside properties, both ancient and modern, with a range of craft moored in...

Day One #PilgrimageUnlimited Video Diary: Tooting Broadway to Shepperton

By akasajoti on Tue, 13 Jun, 2023 - 23:05

On Monday morning Ratnadharini set off from Tooting Broadway, and by the end of the day she had walked 16.71 miles (in 27Ā°C heat!), along the Thames Path out of London, ending inĀ Shepperton.

SheĀ writes:

Vajratara, Dhammagita, Akasajoti and Dhammarati waved me off from Tooting Broadway; Dhammagita with beautiful perfumed rose petals! Thanks dear friends. It was surreal to be setting off due West across South London (Iā€™m a Northerner myself), but there were some stretches of surprisingly green tracks. Even so, it...
