Sarah, Emil and I stood at our marshal point the top of the hill, just before the entrance into the woods. We were as ready as we could be!

Northumberland Coastal Run 2017 Tamsin Imber

Monday, July 31, 2017

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
