Route Description
The Leg starts in Haddington, south-east of Edinburgh, and was established
as a new route following demand in 1996 for a shorter walk, able to
provide for children and people who are less fit.
The route takes us down the coast through Dunbar, Cockburnspath, Coldingham,
Berwick and Lowick finally meeting up with the other groups to cross
the sands to Holy Island. In essence the Haddington Leg is much like
any other. We carry our cross (much lighter than the others), pray and
reflect along the way, tell stories and generally get to know each other
and ourselves a little better.

Many of the parishes through which we travel are enormously supportive
of Northern Cross and the welcome we get is really appreciated by tired
walkers. People often walk with us from the churches along the way and
this is very much a feature of Haddington leg. In some of the parishes
we are invited to share in worship and prayer either at the end of the
day or in the morning.
All this involvement with the parishes doesn't mean that we have no
time to our selves. There are many long periods where we can enjoy the
fellowship of the group and share our thoughts feelings and discoveries.
We are also entirely self catering and the process of preparing the
evening meal (and clearing it away again!) helps to bring people closer
together.
