STONE carrying Tavistock mayor Caroline Keane will be stepping out on the second leg of her cyclical series of walks this weekend ? and is hoping that plenty of people will join her. The stones are carried as a symbol of past experience and future hopes. Starting at Lowery Cross car park at Burrator (Grid ref 547693) the walk will begin at 2pm on Sunday, June 11. The gathering will head for Meavy Village Hall where there will be refreshments and a workshop based on the environment with singing, dancing and African drumming. Cllr Keane estimates the walk will take fewer than two hours and the workshop one-and-a-half hours. A bus will be provided to take people back to the car park afterwards. She says people will take it in turn to carry ?the? stone ? and she also hopes they will bring along a stone of their own. Cllr Keane said: ?Most of the walks in the series involve part of the old monks? pilgrimage routes. ?People come from all over the world and do what we are doing which is to walk on the moor and look at these villages. ?We need to relate to the environment that we live in while at the same time promoting it to others.? Cllr Keane currently has ten paintings on view in a contemporary art exhibition at the Old Bakery in Royal William Yard, Plymouth. ?The colour and content within my paintings relate to my walks. My art forms the focal point of my stone carrying activities,? she says. Forthcoming walks: June 25 ? Meavy to Horrabridge Village Hall; July 23 ? Horrabridge to Whitchurch Village Hall; August 6 ? Whitchurch to Tavistock Parish Centre; 20 August ? Tavistock Parish Centre to Moortown for outdoor workshop; September 3 ? Moortown to Merrivale Stone Circle, where the series of walks began.
