St Michael's Way 2004 - Lelant to Marazion
• Cornwall's 12-mile pilgrim route
Fact 1 • Fact 2 • Fact 3 • Read more about it
Approaching Trencrom Hill: We turn to look back towards the north coast	A steep climb: Luckily the path skirts the edge. We'll return to climb it some day.	Weathertop: We were waiting for Orc raiders to descend on us.
Ninnes Bridge: This historic chapel is now a private house beside the footpath	Through the garden: A row of standing stones marks the route to a stile	In the hill's shadow: Trencrom still towers over us
Change of scene: We're moving off the moorland and onto fertile, recently-ploughed farmland instead	Parched earth: It's actually quite intimidating - and a tough walking surface, like wet sand	The end in sight: Our first misty glimpse of St Michael's Mount on the horizon
Signs of spring: The path led us past fields and fields of daffodils and narcissi	Hide and seek: This steep downhill climb took us underneath a veritable forest of ancient gorse bushes	Now we've got to climb up: Strange how bridges over tiny streams always provoke these thoughts
Ever closer Ignore the sheep, it's the view of St Michael's Mount you want...	Not in Provence: And these plants aren't lavender, but it's a very pretty view just the same	You want me to go where? Believe it or not, the path goes down there
