There may be as many ways of experiencing pilgrimage as there are pilgrims but are there any themes that are common for all pilgrims or is each experience unique?

The Pilgrimage Experience Project, from Swansea University, is exploring the experience of being on a pilgrimage through the personal reflections of those travelling on pilgrim routes.
This is initially focusing on two routes in the UK – The St. James’ Way and The Gower Pilgrimage Way.
