This year’s Pilgrimage will be on Sunday 3rd July 2011. We meet at the top of Churn Knob from 12.15pm onwards (with a picnic), and hold a short service prior to setting off on the 12 mile walk from Churn Knob to Dorchester Abbey. There is an interesting article in May’s edition of The Door with lots more information.
Having acted as local co-ordinator for four years (and been involved for eight), it’s time for me to pass on the baton, so please contact me on 01235 850082 if you could be persuaded to take on this role from 2012. Most of the work is done on the morning of the Pilgrimage itself, with a few meetings over the year. Penny Brassell
