The End to End included plenty of hills. Few of the days had no hills at all. In Cornwall there are quite a lot of hills and as I was heading towards Bodmin Moor, on day 9 the route was certainly up hill (although of course sometimes downhill too). A sign post beside the road said it was 777 miles to John O\u2019Groats, but as I always explain to folks, it depends which route you take. There\u2019s no official route for LEJOG and mine would eventually be quite a bit more than the minimum, which is by road of course.<\/p>\n

One year on and the route has got us to Good Friday, traditionally a day of Cross-walks or Walks of Witness. Our walk this year was shorter than previously. We knew of a hill above the small town where we live and went up that to remember the hill where Jesus was crucified and to pray for our town at this time. It was a beautiful Spring day and flowers, birds and insects were all out in profusion.<\/p>\n

It was good to be able to share stories of the walk with other people and to hear from them about their remembered bibles, particularly their remembered psalms. I love the Bulls of Bashan that appear in psalm 22! For me \u2018I look up at the hills: where does my help come from but from God who made heaven and earth\u2019 is hard to beat on any day, but especially on this Hill Day.<\/p>\n

From the remembered gospel
\nThey took him to a hill outside the city, and there they crucified him.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cosmic God, Creator of heaven and earth,
\nyour hill work is awesome and I admire it on any day.
\nThanks for up hill strength and courage
\nand for downhill trundling and relaxation.
\nFrom the hills, may we bless our country together.
\nIn the ups and downs help us remember Jesus who hung on for us.<\/p>\n
