Devon Earth & Faith Network (DEFAN) is organising an interfaith walking pilgrimage on Dartmoor for Sunday 17th July. Richard Dealler is planning a circular route from Throwleigh of about 6-7 miles, mainly flat and taking about 4-5 hours. We would hope to encourage car-sharing from Exeter, Plymouth, North Devon, etc. Maybe from local churches, the Mosque, Hindu Community and others? It will be important to know numbers in advance, so if this is of interest could you please let Martyn Goss know?
