7. Friday 26 December:
Boxing Day Pilgrimage from Ripon Cathedral to Fountains Abbey:
http://riponcathedral.info/event/boxing-day-eucharist-and-pilgrimage-to-fountains-abbey/
9.30am-12.30 (4 miles) (afterwards 4 miles back)
There will be several 100s of people on the walk.
It starts for those who wish with communion at the Cathedral at 9.30am. (If you like you
can join the walk straight after that)
The walk is about 4 miles long .. and I must admit they seem to walk
faster and faster each year (or is that just faster than me?). (Then 4 miles
back):
1 mile through Ripon and outskirts
1 mile through fields near Studley village
1 mile through Studley Park (may see the deer). If you are VERY
fit/fast, then take the longer route over the seven bridges
Meet at the Gate to Fountains Abbey
1 mile though Fountains Abbey grounds.
Sing carols in the Cellarium of the Abbey and support the National
Trust by buying a drink of hot mulled wine…
Here are 2 pages I have made in 2011: (I think they are good..)
