Way Marking

England...In 2007 the Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome did an exercise to way mark the VF in England from Canterbury to Dover. This was on the AIVF route but the official route will now follow the North Downs Way from Canterbury to Dover.

France... In 2008, there was virtually no dedicated VF marking at all

Switzerland...Has quite a lot of dedicated VF marking and their paths are always marked, generally yellow with black writing and are a delight to follow.

Italy ...There are many different types of dedicated VF marking and it makes for an interesting journey. Some are highly original! Some can be misleading as they are intended to guide motorists to interesting sites. In general the waymarking is good though still not quite as good as the Camino in Spain! It is improving all the time.
