Wicklow Man takes Mum on Camino Pilgrimage

With the launch of the Bray Celtic Camino Mouteira on Bray Seafront, last September, to mark the start of the Bray Camino Coastal route to St James’s Church, in Dublin, Jonathon Pierce and his mother, Marion, took the plunge and walked the 30.2km in November. But the journey for mother and son was only beginning.

Having successfully tackled the Celtic leg – no mean feat in November – Jonathan and Marion are setting out to continue the trail on the mainland on the Portuguese border on Wednesday April 17, aiming to finish in Santiago on Tuesday, April 23.

Rather than making it a traditional religious pilgrimage, Jonathan said they are undertaking the trek together for a “charitable pilgrimage”, aiming to raise at least €2,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis charity, MS Society of Ireland.
