Wales


<p>If your trainers are giving you the side eye and your motivation is still hibernating, consider this your gentle shove. <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/porth-y-swnt/trust10-trail-run-at-aberdaron" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Trust Cymru’s shiny new Trust10 trail run</a> in Aberdaron, Gwynedd is the perfect blend of salty sea air, ridiculously good views of the Llŷn Peninsula, and a lowkey, no pressure set up with distance that offers you a kick in the right direction.</p>

<p>The second&nbsp;organised Trust10 Trail Run&nbsp;will take place&nbsp;on<strong> Sun 22 Feb</strong>&nbsp;starting at Porth y&nbsp;Swnt,&nbsp;Aberdaron. But if you&#8217;re not free, fear not! There are monthly events running throughout the year for runners 14+ (no buggies!), on the fourth Sunday of the month (except in May, Jul, and Aug).&nbsp;You don&#8217;t need to register in advance, but if numbers reach 50, you may be turned away.</p>



<p>Breathing in the fresh sea air, you’re in for a bit of an adventure. You’ll trot along the Wales Coast Path to the wonderfully secluded cove of Porth Meudwy, gawp at the show off landscapes of Cardigan Bay in the distance, before heading back to Aberdaron.</p>

<p>It’s a blue graded trail –&nbsp;which in outdoorsy speak means that it has some challenges from uneven terrain. Expect to come across a few narrow coastal paths, big steps, and slightly rocky terrain. Moral of the story: wear decent shoes, and bring your common sense.</p>



<p>The entire route is waymarked with pink Trust10 arrow discs that will remain in place throughout the year. During organised events, there will always be a backmarker tailing the runners with a mobile phone and emergency lanyard in order to contact the event hub. And of course you can do as much of the trail as you like &#8211; no need to go the whole 10k if you&#8217;re not feeling it! </p>



<p>Beautiful views, left right and centre on this gorgeous trail but also keep an eye out for Bardsey Island’s retired lighthouse, the wild seascapes of Gwylanod Islands and the sheltered cove of  Porth Meudwy. Enjoy! </p>
