WALKING PILGRIMAGE - SUNDAY 10 - SUNDAY 24 AUGUST 1986


This is the 12th Walking Pilgrimage organised by the Diocese of Arundel and
Brighton. This year's Pilgrimage is called "The Wessex Walk" or "St Dunstan" pilgrimage. The walk starts at Brighton and finishes at Bath a fortnight later. There are two rest days at Alton and at Marlborough. The pilqrims sleep overnight in halls on their own air beds or camp beds. Luggage is carried from one hall to another, so pilgrims only need to carry what they need for each days walk. Maurice will be leading the walk on Tuesday 12 August from Billingshurst to Haslemere. The route is waymarked by arrows, so you can proceed at your own pace. The average distance covered each day is 18 miles. If you wish for an information sheet and an application form, please write to Mnurice enclosing a
SAE.The total cost of the pilgrimage is £68 which includes the use of the halls, food and return fare by coach from Bath.


Father Leo Cosham sent greetings for a Happy New Year. He has now moved to Glasgow.


Christmas greetings were sent to you all from Maureen Cahalane.


Please remember Joe Lee in your prayers. He has been seriously ill for a considerable time in St Mark's Hospital, City Road, EC1. He is making good progress and will shortly be transferred to Barts.
