The Full 50km loop challenge, with 1000m of climb, starts from basecamp beneath Dunster Castle, and heads to the coast and the official Minehead start of the famous 630 mile South West Coastal Path. The coastal path provides fantastic views across the Bristol Channel towards South Wales in the distance.
The historic village of Porlock marks the halfway point – then it’s through forests and into the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Across moorland and a climb up Dunkery Beacon – Exmoor’s highest point – with amazing panoramic views, before descending towards Minehead and on back to the finish line on the lawns of Dunster Castle base-camp where a very welcome finish line celebration awaits!
With weekend camping options at basecamp, a bar, BBQ, music and entertainment – there’s going to be a summer festival feel on this challenge!
16 and 17 year olds need to be accompanied by an adult.
