Jurassic Extinction / Jurassic Coast 100 Event Profile
The route follows the South West Coast Path national walking trail, marked with an acorn logo. However, this does not mean the whole route is obvious and care should be taken when crossing fields or following sections of road, especially at night. Harvey Map (South West Coast Path 3) covers the whole route: South West Coast Path Map 3 (harveymaps.co.uk) Please note that this is an active section of coastline and small changes are being made to the path on a regular basis. Follow all South West Coast Path and temporary diversion signs. The route is available on Outdoor Active (Jurassic Extinction) and the GPX files for each distance can also be found on our website. You should follow the South West Coast Path markers and any signed temporary diversions, or new path alterations that might be in place. GPS devices should be used as back up only, and some common sense is required. Follow the acorns with the sea on your left. Where a marker has a few arrows, you should follow the one closest to the acorn.
