Northern Leg likes to think it's a leg of evolution. We believe that every walker brings with them unique gifts and a unique contribution to the week. Together during the week we try to immerse ourselves totally in the experience of Holy Week, and in the process to discover more about ourselves and the people we are with. Often by the end of the week we have become a very strong community within which each walker has begun friendships that will last a lifetime.

Walking Northern Leg is a week of challenges. There is the physical challenge of walking 120 miles. There are the mental challenges which arise from our discussions, our liturgies and from the questions which inevitable arise from the very nature of what we are doing. Then there are the emotional challenges of spending a week living very closely together, to pass through the petty annoyance and become a community bound together through a common experience.
 
Most of all walking Northern is an experience of joy and laughter. The challenges are always outweighed by the support and the companionship found together.
 
Walking the week with Northern Leg is about slowing down, about stepping back from the frantic pace of normal life. Forget about assignments, work, deadlines and all those nasty stressful things. Indulge in having all the time in the world to talk, drink, sing, laugh and discover more about Easter and yourself, if you dare.

The walk is 120 miles but it is broken down with plenty of breaks. You don't have to be super fit to do it and we have support cars to carry luggage - and you, if you need a rest.
 
Hope to see you this coming Easter on Northern.

Northern Leg 2011 meets in Keyworth on Friday evening 15 April and leaves Walsingham on the afternoon of Easter Sunday 24 April.
