St Chad's Pilgrimage 2001 - Outline Plan

The following table summarises the proposed route for our 2001 pilgrimage from Lichfield to Lastingham, in honour of St Chad. In the event this pilgrimage was postponed until 2002 (see 2002 page). This page is "for the record" - a summary of what was planned. It is NOT the outline for 2002!.
