Anyone watching this on BBC1? It's horrific! She's having to sit in a freezing cold bath to help her muscles recover after the marathon bike ride from Edinburgh, in rain, high wind, and freezing temperatures. And then there's the trek up the mountain in snow and ice...

And now she has to swim across Windermere. She is terrified!

I will have to watch it on iPlayer as DH loves Bill Nighy.

As I have said on the One Shoe post I do worry that they are going too far with these things. Normally I find Davina one of the more irritating people on TV but I thought she was amazing in this. But how easily it could all go horribly wrong - and the celebrity is stuck with having to carry on "Because it's for Charity!"

Not to mention Alex rock climbing. Determined women.

I just hope she makes loads of money for it. She deserves to make thousands.

I too find Davina extremely irritating but she has done fantastically well with this.

Alex has raised £1,281,476 (I think that's right). Phenomenal.

Davina has raised £2,239,931!

That is amazing!
