Report on the Walsingham Pilgrimage

The Latin Mass Society's 2024 pilgrimage to Walsingham is over.  Over 200 pilgrims walked the 57 miles from Ely to Walsingham.  Some of these had had extended the pilgrimage by stating the previous day in Cambridge.  An even smaller number had started much earlier and walked all the way from London.  The pilgrimage was supported by a further dozen people who did the catering, moved the baggage, provided the toilets and prepared for the Masses.

A flavour of the joyful nature of the pilgrimage can be seen in the following clip of pilgrims arriving after the first day of walking.

This is how toilets are provided for the pilgrims at each stopping point.
