Endurancelife Exmoor Coastal Trail Series Marathon

Travelled down to Hunters Inn, Combe Martin to run the Trail Marathon on 11th April staying Friday night on the Event Campsite in Murvi. This is probably the most demanding of the CTS events with 5,251 feet of Ascent (and Descent) over the 27.1 mile course starting with a 7 mile loop west along the Coastal Path, returning to the Hunters Inn then a loop East though the Valley of the Rocks, Lynton, Hillsford Bridge, Countisbury Hill then back along the Coastal Path through Lynmouth, Hollerday Hill, Lee Abbey, Woody Bay, Higher Point and the Heddon Valley to the Hunters Inn finish. A beautiful course with some brutal hills but really good training for UTMR.
