Today I made the midway marker for the South West Coast Path. 315 miles down, 315 miles to go. It's a mammoth journey but I'm taking it one day at a time, even though some days are more overwhelming than others. Thank you to everyone who has supported me & donated.

I have the best pals! I'm walking 630 miles for charity but I got injured. I'm inching on, albeit slower than I'd hoped. About 100 miles in, 530 to go!

laurachorton.bsky.social @laurachorton.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

In the guide book it says the South West Coast Path is the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest 4 times. When I read that I put the book down & wondered what on earth I'm doing! I am also aware The Salt Path is out soon & can't wait to watch it when I'm back.

In March 2020 I'd planned to hike the South West Coast Path; the idea of carrying everything I needed in one bag & moving forwards every day was appealing to me. The pandemic put that on hold, but today I'm heading to the start point to start the 630 mile walk on my own.

Yesterday, we spoke at a panel for the play Lynn Faces which powerfully engages with themes of coercive control. Our Head of Policy Hannana Siddiqui discussed the structural barriers to support for Black, minoritised & migrant women, and the value of specialist community-based 'by & for' services.
