Description

The South West Coastal Path is 630 miles and includes Dorset, South Devon, Cornwall, North Devon and Somerset.

This route is 99 miles of the North Devon section of the SWCP (arguably the most beautiful). People have run the SWCP with Damian Hall’s record averaging 100km a day. Unlike the SWCP, there are no requirements to travel on any ferry so this therefore is purely down to the runner. In addition, this can be run in one attempt without the need to sleep. There is significant elevation gain. One end is Marshland Mouth and the other is Glenthorne beach.

One of the best mountain runners in the world started as a Jiu Jitsu champion in Brazil.  Visiting New Zealand in 2006, she got involved with Kiwi adventure multi-sports, then ran a Half-Marathon in the mountains - in the exact same time as her previous best, set on a flat paved course.

John Newman submitted the route:

This 130km (80 mile) loop of the Blue Mountains weaves together jaw-dropping sights and a lot of the best single track in the area. It's a knockout. The loop can be run in either direction, starting from any point. Some sections are brutal but the views are worth it.
