This ‘South West’ challenge is taking in the initial section of the stunning & famous 630 mile Coastal Path, which officially starts in Minehead, and close to our extensive ‘base-camp’ in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. Then the 50 km loop heads over Exmoor with ups & downs and some magnificent views with over 1600 metres of climb.

You’ll get full support all the way, a finish line celebration, and with three 25 km options also, along with camping options and festival style hospitality at base-camp across the weekend – there’s a South West Coast Challenge for everyone!
