Beating the Bounds '09
|
|
17th May 2009 was Rogation Sunday and the traditional Beating of the Bounds walk was held. These photos were taken during the walk. Here is the write-up published in the June '09 parish magazine.
"Rogation Sunday (17th May) Beating the Parish Bounds.
The day dawned as is the tradition wet and windy! After every morning shower there was a ‘phone call asking. “Is the walk still on”. We met at the church, fourteen walking, one carried, two dogs and four stayed behind to prepare the important, welcoming tea at the Church Room on our return.
We experienced spring, summer, winter and autumn on our five mile walk, doing a very good time of just over two hours. We headed down to the Mounton brook, up over the ridge to Howick and through the wood to Middle Lodge, through the tunnel to Mounton and back up the lane to Shirenewton. We all agreed it blew away any cobwebs that were lurking."
