The Pembrokeshire Coastal Route - run number 7 of The National Parks Ultra Project.

On 18th June 2023, I set off on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Route from Poppitt Sands in the North having been dropped off there by a local runner Shan.

I decided to do this one solo to have a great adventure and to do it self supported which means I could not have anyone bring me anything but I could use local shops and things.

From the off, i truly enjoyed almost every minute.  The scenery was amazing, the weather was near perfect and the people i met along the way were just lovely.  I was shown true kindness from several people giving me tea, and cakes and things.

The last few kilometres were a real trudge with sore swollen feet but I arrived at Amroth in the early hours of wednesday. 

This was my longest run yet.

 

NOTE: My watch ran out of battery at 255km and wouldn't charge on route therefore I had to rely on my tracker which is attached here but the distance is wrong due to the track point intervals.
