At the South West Coast Path Association we are fortunate to work with a range of diverse businesses that enjoy the Path as much as we do! One of these businesses is Whirlwind Sports, a sports retailer based in Cornwall who don’t just work near the South West Coast Path, they live in rhythm with it. The team at Whirlwind have written this guest blog to talk about their passion for the Path.
