THE CORNISH PILGRIMAGE - Supported by OS Maps
- Founded in honour of Cornwall Hospice Care
A new web page detailing the 200-mile Cornish Pilgrimage Challenge and the local walks connected to the project are now available from our website.
THE PILGRIMAGE BOOKLET/GUIDE
All 8 phases with maps contained in a modern digital walking guide will soon be available on the website too, and we will be introducing the Cornish Passport to Walk scheme for any contenders, (visit the EBOOKS section).
The new booklet will replace the present guide which is still available online: any modifications to the route have been published on the web page and in the new guide. Proceeds of sales help fund valuable charity work.
FUNDING MY PROJECTS
Presently, there is little funding outside of my own personal efforts/contribution.
Having retired from work makes covering the costs of these projects a more taxing affair. My main input comes from my own efforts which include the sales of books and paintings I have done. I sell postcards of the artwork locally in Cornwall and electronic books are available from £1 at my website. We limit the sale of hard copies as they tend to get stolen or lost. One consignment was delivered to a local library who managed to lose the entire stock! It’s very stressful producing this type of work and with rising print costs, it is presently a struggle to break even!
