Posted Wednesday, May 12, 2021 - 6:07am The hills, valleys, and viewpoints around Exeter get a national television spotlight this month on the BBC’s Songs of Praise, in a programme coming from the city on Sunday 16th May. Hosted by presenter Aled Jones, one of several projects chosen for filming was Exeter COSY Routes, launched last year by the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance. The COSY project is a mapped 26.2-mile marathon distance route around the city, comprising eight shorter circular routes of between four and seven miles. It was created by keen runner and walker Jo Earlam, a board member of the alliance, and with experience of dementia through three generations of family. Both her late grandmothers and father Bernard had dementia in later life, and now her husband John is living with the disease.
