After the announcement of Spine taking over Cape Wrath from Ourea Events, I invited Chris and Debs on to talk about their own unique event on the Cape Wrath trail. We discuss how it came into being and Debs own long experience of the original race on both sides of the fence. What emerged sounds like it will be a very different, albeit highly professional, challenge (not race!) which they want to make as accessible as possible for anyone wanting to explore the Cape Wrath Trail under a safe umbrella. Debs’ passion shines through and it was clear to me that while they agreed it was frustrating to have another event, they are cheerful and optimistic about theirs.
