I hadn't realised that she had asthma before watching the videos that Steve Ashworth has been producing each day of this attempt.

I suppose it is fairly normal for the Lake District to go from the best possible weather conditions to the worst possible conditions so quickly. I remember doing the Coniston race one year (same time of year) in snow showers with a westerly gale trying to blow us off the Swirl How / Old Man ridge, but the conditions yesterday looked far worse than even that.

It's a shame that it has ended like this, but she has certainly shown what is possible given the right conditions. I still can't understand how any human can cope with sleep deprivation so well.
