This is a ‘save the date’ notification for the next Northern Dioceses’ Environment Group (NDEG) in-person meeting.
The idea is to meet up at Leeds Cathedral, walk down to the Leeds and Liverpool canal (by the dark arches underneath Leeds City Station) and then walk along the canal towpath to get to Kirkstall Abbey (about 4 miles in total) and do it as ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.
More details to follow soon – but put it in your diary now if it sounds of interest.
