Our final day sees us on an early half day walk climbing out of Storrington and then decending all the way to Arundel through the village of Burpham and then along the bank of the Arun. We will muster at the bottom of the town so that we can process together to the Cathedral. The Arundel Festival will be in full flow with crowds, music and jollity!

How are we going to do this? John Chenery Original Tweet
Logically, we sing "Bind us together" before setting off to the cathedral John Chenery Original Tweet
Now we sing "Walk in the Light". Conveniently for us, the Arundel Festival is on, so the roads are closed to traffic. Tineke is our banner-bearer. John Chenery Original Tweet
