Welsh coast challenge week 3 (partial) results

[liv]

In week 3 the group collectively ran 143 km, but that's missing check-ins from quite a lot of people. This means we've covered 629 km in total, and we've just passed the port of Fishguard, ending up in roughly here in the Pembrokeshire National Park:



We have basically run round St Bride's Bay, which is the bit in between in between the two "fingers" in the SW corner of Wales. We have passed close by Skomer Island, where it's peak baby seal season just now. We've visited St Davids, the UK's smallest city. We've rounded the westernmost point in mainland Wales, Treginnis, and we're now running north-east along the Irish sea coast, with stunning beaches and amazing wildlife.

We've got a couple of extra days in week 4, and if people who didn't have a chance to check in this week report double mileage next week, we might just make it at least round the coast. As of Monday we have covered just over 50% of our goal distance. I am also planning to use our active hours to take a side-trip from Fishguard to Ireland by ferry :-)

Eeps, I'm sorry! I was going to do a belated check-in today - want me just to hold my miles til the end?

No problems at all, life happens. I didn't want to wait any longer to do the update because I'm not going to have much time until middle of next week.

As for checking in, I'm happy to hear your week 3 miles and will add them to my spreadsheet, but I don't really want to pick a new waypoint now that I've finished putting this post together. So either let me know now just for information, or give us a huge total at the end of the month, whatever feels best for you.

I'll hold and total at the end of the month! And I'm glad I didn't give you my miles because we wouldn't have ended up in such a pretty place.

What a beautiful place to stop! I would love to be standing there right now.
