National Summer Event
The challenge of 2023!
This year the pilgrim summer event will be using 2 houses in the centre of Derby instead of staying in a Church or village hall.
Last year we were in the Derbyshire Peak District but southern Derbyshire is very different with a gentler, rolling and very varied landscape and the area has much to offer.
Derby is in the centre of England with good road and rail links in every direction.
Although a small industrial city (famed for Rolls Royce and Railway Engineering) Derby is also an ancient site with Roman remains, Saxon saints, a Mediaeval Bridge chapel, an 18th century Cathedral and the first arboretum in the country. And indeed good museums should the weather be atrocious!
Dates Thurs. 8 June – Wed. 14 June
Arriving late afternoon on Thursday and leaving after B’fast on Wed. (6 nights) You are welcome to come for a shorter time if you wish – costs pro rata
Costs £108 (Daily rate of £18)
Final details will follow later.
National Autumn (Francistide) Event
This will be based at Caroline Hannah’s house in Ashford arriving in the evening of 29 September and leaving after breakfast on 3 October (or if you can come for just one/two days)
The cost will be £72 (or pro rata). Application forms and more details will be included in the July ‘The Way’
