The Walkers

Teyahuala Walk

Last Saturday 17th of October 2009, 20 friends, colleagues and enthusiasts joined the Sponsored Walk to support the construction of a Communal House for a women’s cooperative in Teyahuala, Mexico (see more info in the posts here below). We walked across the causeway and around the Holy Island of Lindisfarne starting around 11.30 am until 6.30 pm aprox. The weather was fantastic, and we had a great time: loads of good conversations, laughs and vibes. Thank you so much to all of you who supported, encouraged and sponsored this effort.

You can still donate (see left column for details) and spread the word about it!

Please keep coming back to the blog to see updates about how much we managed to raise (in a few weeks) and how the house is progressing (in a few months).

Thank you! Muchas gracias!

This is where we'll be walking: Holy Island (Lindisfarne)



Photos just taken last Sunday 4.10.09 (we just hope weather will be like this and the sea, the sheep and Bamburgh Castle!)

Plan for the Walk
The day of the walk the tide for Holy Island opens from 06.15 to 12.25 and then from 18.35 to 00.35 hrs. We will gather in The Barn at Beal cafe (http://barnatbeal.com/), just a curve before the beginning of the tidal causeway by 10.30 hrs and will start walking to Holy Island by 11.00 hrs in order to be sure we get there before the tide closes. This is approximately 4 miles (I will distribute walking maps at start). If you want to follow the Pilgrim's Path you will need to have some wellingtons or be ready to go barefoot, if not you can just follow the causeway. We will have a short lunch break in the village and then go for the 3/3.30 hour walk around the island. We will end at the Crown and Anchor Pub (http://www.holyislandcrown.co.uk/) with some drinks until the tides open again at 18.35 hrs.
