Norfolk / Suffolk / Essex

Group Leaders: Carol & Derek Greening and Jim Sollars

This is a small friendly group with members from all corners of the three counties. We meet on zoom every 2 months to provide advice to those planning a Camino, exchange our Camino experiences and plan events. Several of our walks in 2022 have been along stages of the London to Walsingham pilgrimage route led by Andy Bull, author of the recently published guide book. We have also enjoyed walks around historic towns and cities in the three counties and along the Norfolk coast. We work closely with neighbouring groups, particularly the Cambridgeshire group.

If you are interested in the Camino and would like to meet other local enthusiasts, please contact Carol & Derek:

Some members of the group attended a talk and supper at St Andrews Church in Great Ryburgh Norfolk, which is on the Norwich to Walsingham route. Andy Bull gave a short talk about the London to Walsingham Camino and highlighted progress being made with work to improve pilgrim infrastructure. There was a positive discussion about parishes looking to provide overnight accomodation, and on keeping information regarding support up to date.

The next meet up and walk for the group is planned for Tuesday 22nd August. It will be a 9 mile circular walk in the countryside around Bury St Edmunds starting at the railway station. Further details will be emailed to regional members shortly. If interested please contact [email protected]
