2006 Coast to Coast - Welsh Dragon's Back
Around 40 members of West End Runners ran the Welsh Dragon's Back Coast to Coast path as a continuous relay over a June weekend. The route took the club from the north to the south coast, finishing with a dip in the sea of the Gower Peninsula. The relay covered a total distance of nearly 200 miles over mountain ranges and a total climb of 20,000 feet in the process. Relay legs varied from 8 to 14 miles over a variety of ground conditions. This years run was in aid of Childline.
Thanks to Glynn, Karim, Laura, Chris B and Tim for the photographs. There were a lot to choose from.

Perhaps what is missing from this page is: A small map of the route. A table of Legs vs. runners. Corrections to the order of pictures. Email the club if you have something else to contribute.
