Sponsored Walk along the Hogs Back and River Wey – Saturday 12 October 2024
Following our two successful sponsored walks over recent years, Bishops Andrew and Paul are inviting you to join them once again, but this time on a sponsored Bishops Camino.
This year the route will start from St Mary’s Church in Quarry Street, Guildford GU1 3UA , climbing up The Mount to pause at the grave of the Revd Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, then along the Hogs Back and North Downs Way to the Watts Chapel with its unique blend of Celtic, Romanesque and Art Nouveau styles. We return via the Wey towpath, with a stop at the ruins of the chapel on St Catherine’s Hill. The route is 7.5 miles and there will be three prayer stops along the way.
Parishes are encouraged to get together groups of walkers to support this initiative. To sign up for the walk click on this link. if you have any questions about the walk please email camino@bgcf.org.uk .
This event is being organised by the Bishop of Guildford’s Communities Fund whichsupports parish outreach projects. These include those which:
During the past year the Fund, has made grants to, among others, a youth and community project at St Paul’s Addlestone; a project to provide healthy meals for vulnerable people being run by St John’s, Stoke and The Hope Hub Café at St John’s Egham, which seeks to build community impact and pastoral support through a range of different initiatives.
