<\/a>\nThe tide receeded and it was possible to cross the Causeway. Hannah went on with her visit and Bob came with me to find the route to Leedstown.
\nThe next seven miles were full of distractions. Almost every step there was the distraction of wild flowers in the hedgerows. The Primroses were especially profuse and there were Celendines, bluebells, stitchwort, red campion and later wild garlic.<\/p>\n
Inside there is a wide range of art courtesy of several different local artists who have contributed to making it a very unique place. This included two rows of paintings representing the Cornish saints, in the Cancel.<\/p>\n At this point it was clear I needed to get a move on. I finally arrived in Leedstown nearer 2 pm. Thankfully an earlier distraction of free pastries at a shop in Goldsithney helped to keep me going. In addition there was a farm shop just before Leedstown for some dates and vegetables.<\/p>\n Meanwhile with the pub at Leedstown not open, Bob and Hannah went to Hayle to fetch some pasties. At this point one of my twitter followers suggested that the walk was going to be fueled by different local delicacies. I do hope so.

\nAt the Church of St Hilary there were a great many distractions. The churchyard includes several of the simple stone crosses I passed on the first day. <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe last distraction was mud. I took a back road and footpath from Leedstown to my destination today which was Praze-an-Beeble. All was going well until we got to the cauliflower fields. You smell them before you see them. The trucks that have been collecting the cauliflowers had churned up the pathways and this was serious mud. It was difficult to decide where the actual path went such were the rutted muddy field edges. Bob appeared in time to dig me out of my dilemma and we squelched back to the road.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nSo there you have it: End to End via the Distractions, and that was only day 3.<\/p>\n
\n
\nRemembering the examples of the Cornish Saints: Sennen, Buryan, Morwenna, Petroc and Hilary,
\nMay we walk carefully, cheerfully and courageously,
\nMindful of the company of the Holy Three:
\nCreator, Companion and Spirit,
\nTo whom be Glory, Glory, Glory now and forever.<\/i><\/p>\n
