This route takes in the whole of the Wales Coastal Path and Offa's Dyke. The Wales Coast Path is the first of its kind in the world, and connects with Offa's Dyke National Trail to create a unique continuous 1047 Mile path around Wales, taking in around 84,000ft of elevation along the way. The Wales Coastal Path offers 870 Miles of unbroken, unspoilt, coastal running/walking around the whole of the Welsh coast, making it one of the best trail runs in Wales. The Offa’s Dyke Path is 177 Miles long and parallel’s the border of England and Wales. The full route links Sedbury Cliffs, near Chepstow on the Severn Estuary with the coastal town of Prestatyn on the north Wales coast. The route passes through 3 areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; the Clwydian Hills, the Shropshire Hills and the Wye Valley as well as such enticing areas as the Clun Forest, the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountains and the Vale of Clwyd.

Met you and your team along the way, as a belgian I had no idea what was going on. But much respect for your adventure, this is rough! All the best, I just keep walking to JohnOGroats 😄

[@Mookiethedog]

You have a cool mind that gets you to motivate after the FKT. I’d have been having a feast! So in awe of you sir. Mention your charities more often!
Let’s help Alan out peeps!

Late to the party playing catch up on these videos during my work breaks. They're really driving home that behind every ultra runner there's atleast one incredible person putting up with/supporting (delete as appropriate) this insane thing that a few of us call fun. And you have a real good'n Alan. None of us could do the stupid without them.

[@NeilTurner-w4c]

Didn't realise just what you were attempting as we met you on the path away from the start ! Hope we didn't slow you down !

[@tomosdavies2353]

Massive respect to Alan 💪🏻
