It has been hard to post today as the signal has been bad. We are now walking with 7 people, 3 dogs and a horse. On our way to Beaminster.
We have arrived at the end of day 2. Total mileage so far 14.6 miles. Another wonderful day. Joined by 4 dogs, 1 horse, 11 walkers. More later.
On our way to Netherbury. Out of the wind a bit. We were going to sing,but we can't decide on a song!

Lovely tea and cake at Salway Ash church. Led worship in the school. Great singing from the school, thank you. Still 30 mins ahead of the timetable but that gives us a longer lunch at Netherbury. See you soon.
We are here at the church a full 30 mins ahead of schedule. Thank you Brian for guiding us through the mire. Now for a nice cup of tea.
A good pace this morning, joined by a couple of hardy companions. See you soon Salway Ash.
Late because I forgot my phone. But being guided by the master. So no getting lost. Bye Melplash. Hello Salway Ash.
Early to Hooke and welcomed by the church warden with a bottle of whisky. Time to worship and enjoy a coffee. And then off towards Mapperton.
Finally we begin the long awaited journey.
I haven't prepared as much as I should have. I suspect my boots may rub. I suspect I'm not as fit as I hope. I suspect it will be wet. But I know it will be good and right and fitting to spend Holy Week journeying.
I've spent part of this evening making a cross that is decorated with the footprints of the Lent club from Broadwindsor. Those 17 children will be walking with us symbolically and actually, when they join us on Tuesday. It is exciting.
Let us pray that walking this week will draw us closer to Christ. Amen.
