This October I will be taking part in the Run Walk Crawls - Gower Ultra Marathon, a complete 50 mile circumnavigation of the stunning Gower peninsula.

As a friend of Paul and a veteran of the UK armed forces I am using this opportunity to raise money in Pauls memory and to support Woody's lodge, set up in his memory.

Woody's lodge provides an inviting meeting space to support and mentor UK veterans, reservists, members of emergency services.

The Route :

The Ultra 50 route starts on the dramatic cliffs overlooking Limeslade Bay, before dropping down to the Mumbles Pier and following the fast flat coastal path for approximately 2 miles around Swansea Bay. From here the route leaves the coastal path and heads inland, passing through Clyne Woods, before dropping down onto an old railway line cycle track which takes us to the north cost of the Gower. When it reaches Gowerton we will rejoin the Coastal Path and follow the Loughor Estuary on a flatter faster section to Llanrhidian. It is at Llandimore where the route starts to become challenging as faster trail sections are replaced with rolling cliff tops, and beach side coves. From Rhossli and the Worms Head, the path heads east along the southern coast of the Gower. It is here the course crosses farmland along cliff tops, until it reaches Port Eynon. We will then cross a string of stunning beaches and bays including Port Eynon, Oxwich, Three Cliffs, Caswell and Langland until reaching Rams Tor and completing the adventure.
