Full blog and photos to follow but for now, suffice it to say that this was one of the most incredible, challenging and life affirming experiences of my life.

I ran self-supported and posted myself supplies to my hotel accomodation each night and had arranged collections for dirty kit to be sent back at various points. All food and water was purchased from shops, cafes, restaurants or public refills.

I took a taxi from Exmouth to Starcross as the ferry wasn't running, but otherwise managed to time my run to use the standard ferry crossings (included in tracker but I stopped my watch for the longer ferry crossings).

I started at 05:58 on Saturday 6th September and finished at 15.04 on Wednesday 17th September.
