Canadians, Australians, locals (and even some English people &#8211; but they were nice). \u00a0The plan is to run the pilgrimage walks every Friday and Saturday (weather permitting) at 2pm (note the new time). \u00a0The walk is especially intended as a grace gift for anyone who&#8217;s just emerging from the Titanic Belfast visitor experience &#8211; but anyone is welcome, so if you&#8217;d like to call by TB at 2pm some day over the Summer. it&#8217;ll be great to see you!<\/p>\n<p>On the way back from the walk, in the middle of that ferocious hail-storm this afternoon, I bumped into Wesley &#8211;
