Day 5: Redhill to Worth Abbey

Coming out from Redhill, we soon ascend a small hill at the top at Redhill Common. From here, there is a magnificent view to the south including the spire of St. John the Evangelist Church. Apart from this one hill, the remaining walk is smooth but rises steadily to Worth at the end of the day. A highlight of the walk after lunch is a visit to the Latvian Chapel at the rear of Rowfant House that is probably a first for the Pilgrimage.

I broadcast this on Twitter at lunchtime: "Last night we received the news that Monica Mclauchlan had reached the end of her earthly pilgrimage RIP. This morning's mass was for Monica starting with For All the Saints and ending with Walk in the Light, one of her faves. See Monica's Facebook page. See Monica's Facebook page."
