Though a non-believer, he began the pilgrimage after suffering several years of mental illness, hoping the ritual would heal him. For ten months he hiked alone on ancient paths, crossing ten countries and more than 5,500 kilometres. Travelling without support, he had to rely each night on the charity of strangers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Crossway\u003c\/i\u003e is an account of Stagg's extraordinary journey.
