Ryan Fayed (husband of Teresa Burridge) is currently walking the Camino from Cadiz to Santiago de Compostela. Many parishioners will remember Nicholas and Sol Burridge who lived in Crawley Down and were long-time members of Worth Abbey Parish. Ryan is walking in their memory and also to raise funds for Outreach Peru. Nicholas loved and walked many caminos also in aid of Outreach Peru. Ryan is aiming to complete the 1,200km walk in 2 months.

The Camino de Santiago (Way of St James) is a phenomenon like few others in the world, since it fosters the encounter of thousands of pilgrims of completely different nationalities. After the discovery of the remains of the apostle, buried in the Cathedral of Santiago, multiple paths were opened to reach them.
The Via Augusta is a Jacobean route that begins in the province of Cadiz and connects with the Via de la Plata. It is popularly known for being one of the longest Roman roads in ancient Hispania. It is formed by a length of no more and no less than 1500 kilometers, and formerly linked the Pyrenees with the city of Cadiz and crossed Andalusian regions such as Seville, Cordoba and Jaen
