Miles for Minds
Over the course of six weeks, Gary is running the entire length of the coast from Minehead in Somerset to Sandbanks in Poole – a staggering distance of 1,013 km (630 miles) – at a pace of a half marathon every day.

Small steps to cleaner air
Tomorrow is World Environment Day and globally we’re turning our attention to air pollution. Here in the South West, our coast gives us all the chance to breath in deep lungfuls of fresh air on a regular basis. But we mustn’t take it for granted. We all need to take action to protect our environment and there are things we can do right now to make a difference, like changing the way you get to the South West Coast Path.
The first rabbit to walk the whole Path
I must be the first rabbit to have completed the whole path! I set off from Minehead on 30th April 2014 with my mum, Liz Owsley, and her friend Mary Hansell.
‘Walking rookie’ to Completer
Little did I know, as I stood as a “walking rookie” in Minehead in 2009, what a fabulous journey was in front of me.
Your Path to the Past
We headed down to Cornwall where we met our Local Rep Andy Salmon to find out more about the new bridge coming to Tintagel.
Unparalleled in its scale or magnificence
Since that day, Moose and I’ve walked a further 1,200 miles of Coast Path across seven counties and I can still state that the SWCP is unparalleled in its scale or magnificence. I’m still keen to go back there one day to retrace our steps, if for no other reason than to reclaim the piece of my heart it stole from me the first time around.
