I am planning to walk with anyone who would like to join me from St Bene't's to St Alban's Abbey during the week leading up to the Alban Pilgrimage on Saturday 22nd June. This is approximately 65 miles making for 5 days of an average 13 miles a day. The route lends itself to a combination of overnight stays and day walks utilising the railway line between Cambridge and London. Anyone is welcome for the whole route or days of their choosing and there are some shorter sections that are suitable for those who are less mobile or prefer a shorter walk to join.

Pilgrimage is an ancient Christian tradition and many have found walking together draws us closer to one another and to God. In the time after Anna's death and burial at St Alban's I was drawn to this concept as a challenging way for us to collectively strengthen our bond as a congregation, and a chance to pay our respects together for those who would like to do so. 

Please sign up if you are interested, either on the online form or the sign-up sheets at the back of church or by emailing myself . I am also happy to hear from anyone with questions or suggestions ahead of the walk. 

The ininerary is described here and a full set of maps are listed here.
