Today the 8 Pilgrims including my friend, Diane who joined us for the day started at Rillington Church and walked up to Thorpe Bassett and Rowgate where we rejoined the Wolds Way once more walking the ridge. The hills were really challenging in the heat but the views were stunning and the fields are changing almost daily. We left the Wolds Way and came down the steep Settrington Bank (glad we were walking down). We visited the beautiful All Saints’ Church where prayers were said before we ate lunch by the stream sitting on the grassy bank (picture). Too soon it was time to move on and into an area of meadowland complete with sheep and lambs all enjoying the glorious sunshine. We arrived at St Peter’s Church, Norton and celebrated reaching the halfway point of our Pilgrimage. The ladies of St Peter’s kindly fed and watered us with scones, chocolate cake and tea or coffee. It was very welcome, thank you. Chauffeur Chris managed to arrive just as tea was being served (he usually does).
