DAY WALKS 2010 We also plan Day Walks each year in different locations. They are run in a
spirit of pilgrimage and are a great way to enjoy some superb countryside
and at the same time re-charge your spiritual batteries in the company of
like-minded people. The walks are free and there is no booking form.
If you would like to take part in a walk simply contact the journey leader by
email or phone, giving your name, address and contact phone number.
We will then send you further details nearer the date.
