Firstly, Day 4 was a massive slog, the afternoon stretch was so tough, a lot of steep climbs and then steeps downhill sections too which takes it out of the legs! Luckily I had my Dad with to keep me company and keep me going! I did 35 miles on day 4 and nearly 6000 feet of climbing so I was so tired when I finished and immediately dunked myself into a wonderful ice bath!
Today was my last day and what a day it was. I made good time in the morning and the tracks were fairly clear and not too many steep sections and managed to visit Land's End and have some lunch. I then went on to Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre. The track was hard after here, my Dad joined me, he seemed to be getting the hardest sections of my days!
There was quite a lot of steep ascents and descents BUT we made it!!!! 155 miles and 5 days later I have completed my challenge!! I can't believe that I've actually done it!
I am completely drained and my legs are dead but I'm happy and will upload pictures and blog again soon!!
Thank you for all your support from start to finish, it's been overwhelming :)

Amazing! Astounding! Astonishing! I'll be here a long while working alphabetically through my dictionary of superlatives!
