A wildbelt to protect the coast
Over the past 12 month’s we’ve seen an increase in dialogue about climate change and some of the actions we need to take to address this global issue. This has in part been a result of the G7 Summit held in Cornwall last summer and subsequently the COP 26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November, both shining a light on the UK Government’s policies to mitigate the worst impacts and reduce future greenhouse gas emissions.

Reflections on my time on the SWCP and becoming the First Female Solo Record holder – written by Dani Blackie
In 2021, Dani Blackie set the first record for a supported solo run of the entire Trail, clocking the FKT (fastest known time) for a female. The 630 miles took her just 18 days, 14 hours, 46 minutes, and 46 seconds to complete – a huge feat of endurance. Dani shares her experience of the challenging run and reflects back on how it has inspired her next challenge – running the FKT (fastest known time) of the Welsh Coast Trail – 870 miles!
