It was a relatively light day's work, with some heavy showers, all of them somewhere else. It was good to have some people walking with me, and Keith from Keighley and Bernie Collins, the Synod Training Officer, went all the way. Once again, the conversation makes the time pass.

What I actually look like, with these Morecambe [sp?] and Wise trousers, I prefer not to think. Over the Chevin (the second I've climbed on this walk), with its massive Churches Together at Easter cross, and down to a welcome cup of tea at Otley, the town of Chippendale (the furniture maker, not the stripper), before saying goodbye to the support and finding my billet. That was it. A nice day. Pictures from today...Supporters in Lister Park, Bradford Supporters by the Leeds - Liverpool Canal near Shipley Sheep at farm park, Esholt Cross on the Otley Chevin |
