Carry them with you at all times . (You may want to remove the staple and only carry the sheet you need each day). If you get separated from the main party, the route cards will tell you where we are going and indicate an outline of our route, and may help you locate any public transport, used in conjunction with the alternative transport list. It is a good idea to take a map case with you to keep your route cards in, together with leaflets and postcards etc that you may pick up at churches en route - even if you do not carry a map.

These are not intended to be used as postal addresses for contacting the pilgrims, as we do not know whether anybody will be collecting the mail. So the best way to contact the pilgrims is to use the emergency phone numbers given at the top of each page (but the coverage may be poor in some areas) or the email address at the foot of each page, or via the web site: www.thepilgrims.org.uk email the pilgrims at [email protected] In emergency contact: Chris 07850 661833 or Clare 07977 078889 or Susan M 07736 176207 DAY 1 Saturday August 11 Induction and Salisbury to Lover 11.6 miles Theme: Foundations He set my feet upon a rock. (Ps 40 v 2) The wise man built his house upon the rock. (Matt 7 v 24) LEADER: Maurice Hickman Maps: L184 or E130, E131 On this afternoon’s walk we shall be following the Avon Valley Path most of the way. We shall be passing through a village called Downton which is famous for its Hop Back Brewery. We also have to cross the busy Bournemouth A338 road before we get to the church stop so extra care will be needed when crossing this. Our destination "Lover" rhymes with "Dover", not what you might think. Directions from Salisbury Station to Registration Venue: Exit the station and turn left, passing the Railway Tavern and a line of shops. At the mini-roudabout turn left under the railway bridge and proceed ahead. At the next junction carry straight on but take the opportunity to cross from the left side of the road to the right at the pedestrian crossing. The next junction is a large roundabout. Follow the pavement round to the right and Our registration venue St Paul's Church is on our right, facing the roundabout.

So the King's Head, which is a Wetherspoon's pub, and the timings given are just a suggestion for lunch, but it is where the orange arrows will lead. The arrows from the pub to the cathedral will appear once rhe leaders have lunched! Feel free to make your own arrangements for lunch elsewhere. The important thing is that we gather at the cathedral at 13.00 Addresses Registration: St Paul's Church Foyer, Fisherton St, Salisbury, SP2 7QW Suggested Lunch: The King's Head Inn,1 Bridge Street, Salisbury, SP1 2ND Hall: Redlynch Village Hall, Vicarage Rd, Salisbury, SP5 2PG A&B Pilgrimage History : Salisbury was the destination of our 2008 pilgrimage, and the 1978, 1991 and 1999 pilgrimages passed through it, but this year is the first time that we have headed south out of Salisbury directly along the Avon Valley Path. Profile (Scale 0 to 500 ft): Each day the route card shows the route profile. But don't be mislead: be aware that it is a different scale each day! Today's walk is mostly along the Avon Valley Path so has long flat stretches but also a couple of hills. They are small compared to what is to come later in the pilgrimage but the first includes a steep climb up steps so provides good early training! The second hill is a climb out of the valley at the end of the day. email the pilgrims at [email protected] In emergency contact: Chris 07850 661833 or Clare 07977 078889 or Susan M 07736 176207 DAY 2 Sunday August 12 Lover to Ringwood 16.3 miles Theme: Drainage Out of the mouth the heart speaks (Luke 6 v 45).
