Saturday 15th May 2004 - Walking Pilgrimage from Exeter to Crediton. Assemble outside west door of Exeter Cathedral for a departure at about 09:30. Arrive at St Boniface Church mid afternoon.
Precise route still awaited but posters have been placed in local churches stating that the route is about 12 miles (19 km) and that a lunch stop will be made at Oldridge Church (grid ref SX 828962) at 13:00. This route appears to go over the Whitestone hills, meaning that the there is a long hill to climb. After leaving Exeter the route will however be along country lanes with little traffic and splendid views. The afternoon section of the walk will be mostly downhill, again on quiet country lanes.
A regular Stagecoach bus service (No. 50), or Turner's Coaches service (No. 374) departing at 15:47, or the Tarka Rail Line, can return walkers to Exeter.
