Elsewhere on this blog I've posted a conflicted, self-conscious notion that walking the C2C is essentially a self-indulgent, first-world project that is embarrassingly silly compared to real challenges people face, especially in the third world or the third world among us. Well, a couple of friends-of-friends did that other walk, across another country (Spain) to Santiago de Campostelo. And the thing is, that walk is not subject to the criticism I've self-imposed, because its a pilgrimage! It's for God, ( or something) so we have to respect that and it's all okay.
So what's the difference? Can the C2C be considered a "pilgrimage"? Is God, or the gods, to be sought out there on the moors and mountain tops? Do we care?
