Jonathan Thomas’s guest is the author of “Where the saints came from” published earlier this year. She's Anne Hayward, a retired teacher and former lay reader in the Church in Wales. Anne is also a very keen walker; so much so that each Easter she goes on solo pilgrimage from her home in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park to a holy place either in Wales or beyond. As we’ll hear this year’s pilgrimage was her second journey to Brittany, a place of strong Celtic ties with Wales and Cornwall.

So far Anne has written three books about her thousands of miles on foot, travelling with a lightweight rucksack and tent, paper maps and a walking stick. During the programme recorded near the ruins of Llanthony Priory we hear extracts from the diaries she kept on her latest journey and she'll also retell some of her experiences en route.
