Men's Event - Walking Weekend 

 17-19th May 2019


14 Men from HBC  walked  the 34 mile Peak Pilgrimage Walk, from Ilam to the ‘plague village’ of Eyam over 3 days. Thanks go to  David Johnson for planning and leading the weekend.

Eyam has a sense of being a holy place because of the sacrifice of its people in 1665 when they refused to flee in the face of the plague that arrived from London. Led by the rector, their self-sacrifice motivated by their Christian faith saved the surrounding area but cost about a third of them their lives. 

We stayed at  a National Trust Bunkhouse at Ilam – information can be found here.
 
Go to the Peak Pilgrimage website to see the route.
