Clare is in Penicuik for the penultimate episode of this Camino de Santiago themed series. The first five programmes were recorded in Spain, and the final two episodes are in the UK with people reflecting on their past experiences of The Way. Today Clare meets a true Camino veteran: Rev. Nick Bowry has walked it seven times, and on different routes, including when he was making the decision to give up his long-standing career to become a Priest.
Joining Clare and Nick on today's walk are Nick's friends, Cat and Liz, who share their own Camino memories as they enjoy the beautiful local scenery on a fine day.
They completed a circular walk starting at Nick's church, St. James the Less, taking in the River North Esk, Serpentine Wood, and views of the Pentland Hills.
Presenter: Clare Balding
Here's a poem Nick wrote about his time on the Camino in 2016:
Santander a Muxia, Camino 2016
Come, it's been a while,
Consciously clearing clutter from my mind,
Conversations words and gestures,
Calmed and caught in the cadence of walking,
Companions on the way, four between us,
Conclusions - I have a few,
