Tamsin Imber

This HAS to be one of the best races in the north-east! The fact that it sells out in a few hours supports this. Beautiful rock-pooled, sandy beaches , Dunstanburgh castle, the pretty village of Craster and convivial cliff top coastal footpath make this one magnificent run! And when raining and grey this coast looks … Continue reading Northumberland Coastal Run 2017 Tamsin Imber

2nd time lucky?  Last year, I settled for a rather splendid long sleeved top in lieu of my entry, and heard the tales of a splendid and scenic coastal run in the sun.  This year, the race sold out in a matter of six hours but fortunately I secured an entry again, and had my … Continue reading Northumberland Coastal Run 2017 Jonathan Hamill

14 miles (depending on tides)

 I’ve spent many years running, camping and wandering along the Northumberland Coastline, the paths and dunes are familiar and I see it as my second home. Some years ago I spent time with the National Trust along the shoreline where I viewed in awe the bold men and women hurtling along the beach as part … Continue reading Coastal Run

Tide was out, nearer to 13M than 14M

 Dougie Nisbet… Not for the first time I found myself checking myself out (so to speak) in Tesco Express Corner Shop in North Road.

It’s very handy that Gillingham’s chuck us out … Continue reading Coastal Run
