June 2024: Prospect Wood
Grace was in Prospect Wood in Sussex on Saturday June 8th. It ran for the whole day rather than the usual evening.
People in various cars met 10:30am at Kirdford village stores and drove together to the wood. The entrance gates which have to be kept shut are some way from the area that we use, so we have to go in in convoy.
The plan for the day was as follows:
Coffee + cake on arrival.
Opening prayer
Space to chill out, enjoy the woods.
Anyone who wants to can do some wood related stuff - splitting wood, whittling, clearing but no pressure to.
Lunch
More space
Closing prayers
We left around 3:30pm
