Since the dawn of the South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year competition, we’ve witnessed nearly 200 ‘exceptional coastal events’ on the Trail. Find out from our Climate Crisis Capture Award winner, James Loveridge, how to capture a dramatic event on camera.
Walk with us and Surfers Against Sewage to help protect our oceans and the landscapes we love to visit. Join us in the fight against plastic and together we can clean beaches, rivers, trails, mountains and streets by walking a Million Miles together. That’s over 1,588 times round the South West Coast Path!
As part of #WorldHealthDay 2021 we’ve been chatting to adventurer, educator and author Gail Muller about how the South West Coast Path has helped her cope with, and come through living with chronic pain. Here’s her story.
With some lockdown restrictions easing today, we wanted to take a moment to shine a light on our most dedicated group of community fundraisers, Plymouth Coastal Runners (PCR), who’ve proven they are as agile in responding to change as they are on the Trail! In this guest blog, their founder Luke Elliott tells us how they adapted their monthly Strava time-trial to keep virtually challenging their runners and raising money throughout lockdown in a covid-safe way, using the power of social media. Since 2016, PCR members have raised nearly £3,000 to support the South West Coast Path Association’s work protecting and championing the National Trail that they love, we are extremely grateful for their unwavering support.
As we collectively breathe a sigh of relief that we’ve finally made it to spring after a long and lonely winter, our National Trail Officer Richard Walton takes a moment to look back at the storm damage our Trail has endured this season.
