the march was organised in great detail. advance information provided to marchers included a "village-by-village itinerary" with details about accommodation and facilities. a single piece of luggage per person would be transported, there were daily roll calls, and marchers were asked to wear rosettes in green, white and red - not the purple of the suffragettes. some marchers brought horse-drawn caravans to accommodate themselves en route, while others stayed with local supporters or were found other accommodation. marchers were welcome to join the pilgrimage for as long as they could: while some women marched for six weeks others could only spare a shorter time.
