What were the costs and risks of going on a Pilgrim?

Medicine was not terribly good/effective in those times, if they cut themselves on the journey they could get the wound infected that would lead to severe medic problems they could would need money but since the long journey they would run out of money for food. They would also drink from sea and river water which could sicken them.
