Also, these days it’s mostly covered by one major road (the A2), which would make the enterprise a lot more straightforward and a lot more dull.

It’s a common mistake. There’s an article I have from one of the major UK daily papers in which a journalist, sent to cover part of the (actual) Pilgrim’s Way between Winchester and Farnham, talks about Chaucer in almost every paragraph. Another reason why I don’t believe what I read in the press these days.
