Report

This is an application for the first female solo FKT of the South West Coast Path, anti-clockwise from Minehead, Somerset to South Haven Point in Poole, covering the 630 miles of the path. I was supported via a motorhome each day by Matthew Jaquest who supplied a checkpoint equivalent every 5-15 miles, depending on the terrain. It was good weather for the most part but with strong winds around the Lizard. It started raining in Sidmouth and hailing in Lyme Regis. It rained again on the penultimate day around Moonfleet on the way to Portland.

A large amount of mileage was covered in the first few days over high ascent and difficult terrain, the distances decreased as it became more arduous.

The daily real time updates of the event can be found on the fb page "South West Coastal Challenge-Running for the save me trust" and Instagram "South West Coastal Challenge".

 

I have attached a screen shot of the Falmouth section, it won't generate a sharing link like all of the other files but is available via my login on suunto if required. I am waiting on the full gpx file from Geotracks and will send that across once I have received it.
