Seems he had to cut his attempt to walk from England to India with no money because people for some reason mistook him for one of the dozens of other people trying to get from one place to another with no money ... oh, but HE is SPECIAL.

After reaching Calais Mr Boyle made the decision to quit his trip because as he could not speak French people thought he was an asylum seeker or a freeloader and would not give him food or board.
The 28-year-old kept an online diary of his adventure, where in one of his final entries he wrote: "…they had also seen us as just a bunch of freeloading backpackers, which is the complete opposite of what the pilgrimage is about".

Sorry dude, apparently that is what the "pilgrimage" was completely about as your inability to freeload terminated the pilgrimage.

"But he also revealed that his dream is still alive. He now plans to learn French while walking round the British coast in preparation for a renewed assault on his passage to India next year."
"He said: 'Whilst walking in the UK, I intend to learn French and to hit the continent again as soon as we feel we are ready.'"
Um, yeah, I'm sure if he could just explain in French how his freeloading mission will create world peace, they will embrace him with open arms!
