Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

A challenge for two 50+ ladies, but recommended to all.  Waymarkers excellent just trust them. Apart from 2 days of rain good weather all the way.  Met many friendly and helpful people along the way.  B&Bs along the way very good, and geared up for walkers.Good luck to all who…

Four of us arrived in Chepstow on Monday 7th Sept and stretched our legs by walking to Sedbury Cliffs (and back) then we were joined by the 5th member of our merry band to start the ODP in earnest. We stayed in a range of B&Bs, a few pubs and met…

The big adventure started on the 2nd of September, 2015. The two of us only weekend walkers and in our late 50's decided to complete the walk over 17 days finishing on the 18th September, 2015. Had we bitten off more than we could chew?First day, two big mistakes, forgot…

Offa's Dyke was my first long distance trail at the age of 65 having only started walking in 2014. While a challenge at times such as the strech from Knighton to Cwm it delivered a great sense of achievement.The sections along the canals were a pleasure to walk reflecting the…

Started in june 2015 and did approximately 3/4 of the trail. Then it became to hot to walk with full pack and we decided to go and sit in a waterfall in  the Brecon Beacons instead. But at the same time it gave us the best excuse to come back…

As a 79 year old I was concerned about the level of fitness required to complete the walk, however my (younger) companions and I had no problems (despite a number of rainy periods!). The route was well signposted and in good condition.I found the historical sites (castles, canals, monuments etc)…

The first day from Chepstow I got soaked, but after that the good weather was with me all the way.  My wife and children met me a various campsites, and on the Kington to Knighton stretch my 11 year old son came with me.  He commented on how there were…

In the summer of 2015, Julie and I stood on the banks of the Severn at Sedbury Cliffs and commenced the most delightful trek north along the path of Offa’s Dyke. For much of the next three weeks, we walked along beside – and even on - the Dyke itself…

Two weeks of wonderful hiking with my good friend Stephen Wright. My feet still bare the scars of some ugly blisters but it didn't dampen my spirits as we embarked on a great adventure. From staying in luxury at Llanthony priory to practically begging to stop on a campsite there…

This walk was amazing, what an adventure, I would spend the rest of my life walking up and down these trails if I could get it to pay. My friend lost a bag full of his dirty undies between Kington and Knighton sorry about that if anybody is unlucky enough to…

This was our second traverse of Offa's Dyke Path. Our first was some years ago when we were still working and were only able to walk it in sections. That walk was further disrupted by the outbreak of foot and mouth. This time all went rather more smoothly. We knew…

My second completion of Offa's Dyke almost exactly 30 years after my first - and it's still just as brilliant. The best long walk in Britain!Many thanks to all those involved in keeping it that way.  

We walked the Offa's Dyke Path in June 2015. It was an amazing walk with a great variety of breathtaking landscapes, millions of sheep and only 2-3 days with rain - although everyone warned us that it is constantly raining in Wales! We walked from North to South - an…

Myself and 3 other friends completed the 177 mile Offas Dyke Trail over 10 days and raised over £2000 for two charities, Macmillan Cancer Research and Lymphoma and Leukaemia Research. We started at the official start point in Chepstow on the Sedbury cliffs on Saturday 20th June and then followed the path…

We did the route over 6 trips and 13 days, as and when we could sneak away and, I have to say, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The countryside we passed through was so varied and lovely that it hard to imagine what we will do next.Basically the route panned…

I wanted to go on a long walk, a Really Long Walk, to celebrate being 62, and still able to WALK.  Two years ago I completed Wainwrights Coast to Coast route in England, round trip, and a bit beyond (back to the Lake District for additional daily walks), and this…

Started 14:30 Saturday 30 May 2015 and finished 14:15 Wednesday 10 June 2015. Walked South to North, which I would highly recommend, with sun and wind on our backs. Wonderful trail.  Weather pretty good except for unseasonably strong breeze, particularly on 2/6 when walking over the Black Mountains.

I completed the trail between May 30th and June 10th 2015 along with my long-time friend Richard Green, walking from south to north.Apart from the second full day in, going from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye, we had outstanding weather and I would recommend it a good time of year to do…

The walk was from north to south, starting out on 8th May from Prestatyn on the sea front in the rain and wind. Over the next 8 days we walked in mainly dry weather with some showers and one very windy, wet day. It was for most of the time…

Three great friends, two dogs, one year, five weekends, sixteen days, one fantastic adventure.We walked through all weathers, camped and shuttled cars to complete the trail from south to north (very frequently in a north southerly direction!).All rounded off with a bottle of fizz on Prestatyn beach.
