John and I arrived early. There is lots to sort out – food, finalising rooms, going over the pilgrimage route. As we are ferrying people with cars, the parking needed checking. Google maps didn’t give us all the info needed and plans have been adjusted.
And now we are just waiting for everyone to arrive. Excited? Apprehensive? There are some health and mobility issues, so not all 15 will walk, at least not the full distance. That’s okay. Sometimes as wounded walkers through life we need a lift, and our pilgrim walkers are likewise welcome to literal lifts.
