I spoke to Lara last night and apart from dampness, soreness, blisters and all her stuff falling apart she's doing fine!
I think that the horizontal hailstorm that she walked through was not the kind of weather she was expecting in June, however the storm's blown over this morning and the weather looks good. The forecast for the rest of the week - not so much. It's pretty much heavy rain all the way. Tonight's supposed to be clear though, so Lara intends to sleep out again this evening.
We also checked some of the statistics on the SWCP website. Over the last 2 days Lara's walked 35.1 miles (plus a bit - getting lost and walking to the start of the walk), and climbed 9783ft (that's 2982m for those of you under 30 - and Europeans). That's more than 2 ascents of Ben Nevis already - quite hilly really!
Finally - we know you're coming here from the stats, but you're unusually quiet. Please leave a comment to say hi to Lara - it doesn't have to relate to the post, we'd just love to hear from you :)
Useful places on the SWCP.

Lara's 630 mile charity walk
On the 17th June Lara is going to walk the South-West Coast walk, a route that goes on for 630 miles and will take her around 2 months! The route is very hilly and considered quite difficult, and she will spend most of the journey sleeping rough in a bivi bag.

Wow, She is doing great! Think it is such an achievement (please correct me on my spelling Adam).
So what was decided on the mascott front?
