Holy Year Pilgrimage 1975

Day 1: Arundel to Midhurst

So, on Monday 31st March 1975 some 25 pilgrims met up at Arundel Cathedral for Mass, followed by registration and coffee in St Mary's Hall, Arundel. We studied the map for the benefit of the press photographers...

Then we were off!

Lunch was a picnic on top of Bignor Hill - no pub!

Along the Downs, lots of lovely mud and snow, then down to Heyshott, from where the snow on the hills was visible if you looked back.

And so to our first night's stop - the Convent of Mercy at Midhurst, where the sisters welcomed us on several other occasions in later years.
