To be a Pilgrim……………..in 2020 is somewhat challenging and sadly our happy band of pilgrims who had planned to walk the second half of the Pilgrims Way from Chaldon to Winchester on May 10^th to 15^th are locked down in Surrey.
Undeterred each Pilgrim will take a walk during the course of the week that fits with their work commitments and the current rules on daily exercise to play their part in Christian Aid week and keep the spirit of Pilgrimage alive.
From May 10^th to 15^th we will post news of our walks and a link to the joint parish just giving Christian Aid page so that anyone who wishes to follow our progress or donate to Christian Aid in recognition of our endeavours can do so. The pilgrimage will begin with my own walk back from the church on Sunday to Buckland – this would have been the first leg of our walk and since Buckland is within walking distance of my home I hope to be home in time for Night Prayers! 
Others will attempt the full 75 miles during the course of the week, some will fit in walks between shifts nursing, accounting, virtual vicarring etc.
Please give if you can to support the work of Christian Aid across the globe where so communities far less fortunate than ourselves are being hit by the terrible consequences of Covid 19.
