85km and 7500m overall ascent across rock bog and heather cover boulder fields with no paths or trails. 44 summits have to be visited in a landscape described in Mountainview.ie as "astonishingly rough", taking on what Paddy Dillon called "The longest hardest high level route in Ireland".

Description

Starts and finishes in the middle of Halgate green, on the Strand. The route is a 16km anti-clockwise laps of the main Coastal path around St.Mary's.

A beautiful and very scenic coastal lap, full of twists and turns around the various bays. Wild flowers at every turn, sometimes technical and rocky, at other times, fast single track and a white sandy beach to tackle. Look out for the small aircraft that flies in and out of the island, usually from Land's End on the English mainland- The most southern point of the UK.

Aberdeen Ancient Boundary Stones (United Kingdom)

Description

This route goes back over 700 years into history when Robert the Bruce (King of Scotland) gifted the people of Aberdeen the "Freedom Lands". The route was marked by 67 boundary stones that still exist to this day although some of the original stones have been updated. I have found all the stones and planned a route that passes directly past all of the stones while respecting some that are not directly accessible to members of the public. The route planned is accessible 365 days per year. The route is a mixture of urban and country running, on roads, trails and pavements.
