This week, Rachel completed a 7-mile training walk in the boots she’ll be wearing throughout the Cornwall journey.
Breaking in the boots and gradually rebuilding distance is an important part of preparing for the physical reality of walking day after day along the coastline. Each walk is a reminder that preparation isn’t about speed — it’s about consistency, patience, and allowing the body to adapt.
Later that evening, Rachel also had the pleasure of speaking to the ladies of Inner Wheel Nantwich, sharing more about Survive’s work and the reasons behind the walk. It was a thoughtful and encouraging evening, and Rachel is incredibly grateful for their warmth, interest, and support.
With each passing week, the walk is moving closer from something planned, to something real.
