Sorry this is off-topic, but since many of you peregrinos take other walks, I wondered if anyone here has walked Offa's Dyke in Wales? If so, I'd like to pick your brains?

My goodness, that was an OLD post!
I actually visited friends in Wales. Spent the entire summer.
Never walked Offa's Dyke because it rained nearly every day and our feet would sink up to the knees.
Perhaps if there's ever a drought in the UK, I'll try again! LOL!

With our weather you won’t be walking it anytime soon.

Six days of heavy rain and then abandoned. Miserable.

So no.

We have walked some sections in good weather. One day maybe we will walk the northern end. The only difficulty is affordable accommodation nearby.
Good to see this old thread revived.
