TUESDAY 3rd JUNE - A day beginning and ending with two different but beautiful services. It was filled with an exploration of Cambridge's links with Nicolas Ferrar and a 7-mile warm-up walk; in the near constant rain, whilst the floods and the muds came up. However, companionship thrives, tents assembled, food and a vicar's hospitality made for a warm group...who have still not worked out the real meaning of the worde 'huggermugger. WEDNESDAY 4th JUNE - We started the day with muesli and porridge: the minibus started with a push and jumplead. A gorgeous straight walk with the sun and East Anglian sky, ending at the beautiful Turvey Abbey for a meal 'suitable for pilgrims'. A restful place for the weary but challenging for the tired - a secret garden and a place where prayer is made valid. Hope for Pilsdon and dry clothes again tomorrow. Wonderful. THURSDAY 5th JUNE - Beginning with a walk from Turvey Abbey (and ending with a march in India for land rights) it has been a good day - also have 2 blisters to share the fun with. The use of pesticides obviously declined over the day and the butterfly numbers went up. Hospitality at the Well at Willen is wonderfully generous. another night in a bed - luxury FRIDAY 6th JUNE - Perfect day for walking - a great breakfast followed by a tour of the the Peace Park, then dry but cool weather. This was the first time the p.m. walk was longer than the a.m. Lovely woods and a few more up-hills. The countryside continues to change. A good meal at Wendover with local United Churches people followed by lose one game of Connect4 out of many! Rested feet well to be ready again tomorrow.
