One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring
David told us that he would rather walk than cycle, ride or drive. He feels that walking can be a beautiful escape from routines, worry and sadness. David likes to walk in bare feet as he believes that everywhere is Holy ground. Walking in bare feet helps him to feel connected to the holiness of the ground beneath his feet. Walking with deliberate awareness is slowing down and noticing more, feeling more, smelling more and experiencing more. This leads to ultimately being more thankful for all that is beneath his feet and around him. Consequently, any walk can become a pilgrimage.

Wheelchair users and those with pushchairs can find useful information on https://accessiblecountryside.org.uk which includes some Essex walks.
