Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

My friend Ashley and I completed the Path for his brother, Ceri, who suffers from a rare form of cancer called sarcoma. 

I had no idea that I would enjoy walking Offa's Dyke Path so much!We had a plan and walked following the official National Trail guide in the 12 suggested sections. The guide was informative and accurate and became a trusted friend.Hoping to continue the walking and the level of fitness we…

So thrilled to complete the Offas Dyke trail after 177 long miles accompanied by friends and beautiful scenery!

We started walking the Offas Dyke Path in the Autumn of 2013 just after we had both retired. It was a celebration of having the time and energy to be able to do it. We had lived on the borders for several years and had come to love the area, but…

We began the Offa's Dyke Path on 28th November 2015 and had a very wet and muddy walk to Pandy. We continued in April 2016 from Pandy to Kington in improving weather. In June we continued from Kington to Welshpool and were soaked on the way. In August we hiked…

Great challenge. I completed the path in 12 days on Sunday, October 2nd, 2016, accompanied by my 73 year old Dad for the first 3 days, my brother for a day in the middle and my cousin for the last 2 days.   I totally lucked out with the weather…

I completed Offa's Dyke as part of a much larger challenge - walking over 1000 miles around the whole perimeter of Wales (ODP and the Wales Coast Path). Living only three miles from the dyke, I walked out of my front door in Presteigne to join it at Granner Wood.…

I began my walking venture of the Offa's Dyke Path on 20/09/16 & completed the walk in a total of 12 days (South to North). Despite this being a personal challenge for myself, I was also fund raising for the Macmillan charity as well. I must admit that I didn't really read…

I ran the Offa's Dyke Path as part of the "King Offa's Dyke Race" Ultra Marathon.Just under 100 of us started from Chepstow at 8pm on Friday 23rd September and we had 96 hours to complete the full path.We ran, hiked and walked through day and night with most of…

Having recently retired I decided to use my van for accommodation and then use buses to get to the start point each day.   This worked out well apart from a few occasions where there were no suitable buses available i.e. Sundays or too many changes.  For these days I camped or…

I walked Offas Dyke south to north with my friend, Dawn Rogers, starting on 8th September, finishing on 18th September.  We averaged 17 miles per day and really enjoyed the varied scenery and the fact that we didn't know whether we were in England or Wales for half the time! We…

we Started on Monday 6th September in Chepstow on a claggy morning and set off to Monmouth some 16 miles away. It stayed claggy but by the afternoon we were blessed with sunshine that would hold all the way up past Oswestry. The first day was long and you think…

I travelled the path from Sept 4 €“ 13, hiking from North to South, and on two occasions was surprised to find the camp sites were on the lawn of a house! The scenery was simply beautiful, and was matched only by the warmth of the welcome I received from…

Great variety of mountain, waterside and wooded scenery. There was a healthy number of people walking the path and it was easy to strike up friendly talks with them. I also loved the B and Bs where I stayed: more friendly people to meet. The route was challenging without being too…

Background: My partner and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. We flew to England to visit family and to do a northbound thru-hike of the ODP. We had previously completed a thru-hike of the Long Trail, Vermont in 2013 and a thru-hike of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in 2014.Schedule: We arrived by…

Lovely hike through lovely countryside. I walked the path from 5 to 21 July. Mostly decent weather, save for a few wet days in the middle. Unfortunatly some of the campsites are gone now ... for example Pandy and Mormouth. 

Walking the Offa's Dyke Path is one of the best things I ever did.  Many thanks to all the people who devised and maintain it.   I loved the variety of scenery, and seeing signs in Welsh.  They add a special flavour to it. During my walk, I also wrote 72 poems,…

Completed in two sections. Chepstow to Knighton in 2015, and Knighton to Prestatyn in 2016. A cracking walk, something for everybody. Such friendly people, both on and off the path.Thanks to everybody that helped us along the way.Cheers Andy and Caroline.

177 Miles Offa's Dyke Hike for Charity Complete!I completed the path on July 10th 2016. Just a few days before my brothers wedding and before I moved over to America to get married. What started as a hike for Cancer Research UK ended up being a fantastic chance to say…

I ran the trail from north to south for Alzheimer's research U.K raising over £1200; a great adventure but speed hiked the up-hill sections, harder than I anticipated! but at the ripe age of 63 not bad going, over 1 week!
