So you want to know what makes Northern different from the other Legs. Well, here goes...

Northern was the second leg of Student Cross to be started over 60 years ago. We start from Keyworth, just outside Nottingham the Friday before Palm Sunday. We stop in the evenings at Melton Mowbray, Corby Glen, Spalding, Sutton Bridge, Kings Lynn, Castle Acre and finally Walsingham, our destination.

In Melton Mowbray we stay with parishioners, all the other nights we stay in church or village halls. On Wednesday night we meet up with Midland Leg and on Thursday night we meet London Leg. On both these nights we share liturgy and a sing-song with the other Legs.

Northern Leg 2013 meets in Keyworth on Friday evening 22 March and leaves Walsingham on the afternoon of Easter Sunday 31 March.
