American Pilgrims on the Camino - Philadelphia Chapter

Join us for a 5-mile walk through Chadds Ford! We'll walk a combination of trails that run through meadows and meander along the Brandywine River. We'll even cross some boardwalks through wetlands and pass the studios of Andrew and N.C. Wyeth!

This is a diverse walk over mostly flat paths (dirt and grass), though there are a couple short sections that seem to be perpetually wet and boggy (so, your shoes may get muddy).

We'll meet at the Chadds Ford Township building at 10 Ring Rd, Chadds Ford, PA 19317. As you're driving towards the township building you'll see a small parking lot directly in front of you (parking here is fine), but if you continue past the building and down to the playground, you'll find a larger lot. We'll meet here! There's a porta potty in this lot, which is the only bathroom opportunity along the way.

After the walk, for those who want to join, we'll head to Chadds Ford Winery to sit outside and enjoy a glass (bottle?) of wine. There are sometimes food trucks here and they sell a few snacks, but if you want to eat, bring your own picnic lunch! For anyone who likes cheese, bring your favorite to share with the group and we can have our own wine and cheese tasting.

Rain may postpone the event, so check back here for an update in case of bad weather.

Hope to see you there, and Buen Camino!

Camino Coffee time (also known as second breakfast!)! An opportunity to meet up with fellow pilgrims, learn about the Camino de Santiago, reminisce or learn about different routes.

Come for the coffee (very good coffee here!) or come for the walk (roughly a 4 miler). Or come for both! Anticipating walking around 11:30am. It’s actually an easy stroll down to the park and then a lap around Haddon Lake, then back towards Trouble Brewing.

There is an opportunity, if anyone is inclined, to have lunch post walk. On the corner across from Trouble Brewing is a small "deli" with good food, called Local Links.

Dress for the weather, as we’ll meet rain or shine. Only truly horrific winter weather will cancel us. Bring your pack if you like.
