After leaving Lulworth along the coastal path swirling sea mist greatly reduced visibilty making it unsafe to continue along the coastal path so Rachel moved inland where heavey rain became an issue, no safe alternative but get assistance from the Abbey FM support car to reach the event at Kingston. With improving weather Rachel then stayed at Kingston to promote HNT and the need for more support re SEN kids, making up for the rained off events on Friday. Less walking milage today but on avererage 1+ marathon being completed daily.
