The Outdoors Station - Audio show

Summary: The 5th May 2012 saw the official launch of the Wales Coastal Path in Cardiff, appropriately on the sea front, a stone's throw away from Cardiff Bay. The project links together all the various Welsh coastal paths and brings them all to the same standard as one official route, with way marking and a website to enable backpackers or walkers of all ages and ability to enjoy the 870 miles of glorious scenery. The paths also links with Offa's Dyke path, which runs along the border of Wales and England, making it 1027 miles. The only path in the world to circumnavigate a country. This podcast features interviews with those involved in the project, the first runner to complete the route and the first official backpacker to undertake the path after the official launch.
