- The Offa's Dyke Path is a National Trail of 177 miles. This video covers my journey on days six, seven and eight.
We leave the town of Knighton and head into the Shropshire Hills. From here we wander through the Severn Valley and use the path alongside the old Montgomery Canal. The next part of the journey takes us through the flat lands of the Vale Montgomery. Eventually we join up with the Llangollen Canal to take the high path that is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. We finish here, knowing we have two more days to complete the journey.
'And here's a plate' was an interesting and surreal moment in this video. The things you come upon when walking. I would plan in a day of rest, but your pace is faster and I guess that makes it doable in one go. Very much enjoying following your journey.
Thanks for your thoughts, I think it was one of my main learnings from this walk, the need to try and plan in a rest at some point. Choosing a place/point of interest rather than a specific moment in time. Glad you're enjoying the journey.
A field with giant satellite dishes was odd enough, then "oh, heres a plate" just made me laugh 😂
@Pugggle yep, it was kinda funny😁
Thank you for guiding us through offa's dyke!
Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed the watch , think I might of missed this 1 while watching the series
Thanks for watching the series and I appreciate the comment. Cheers
Been going through some of your walks - real gems! Thank you.
Glad you like them! Appreciate all the comments and thanks for watching.
'Time' should not be the prime mover. I believe that fully absorbing the experience is far more important. And, if that means extending the experience for a day or two, so be it. Listen to your inner self. Do not allow outside pressures to deviate you 😊👍
Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate your thoughts Paul. Allow your inner self to shine through! Cheers
@@AmblingTrails No problem - I'm 68 now and have finally learnt to go with the 'flow'. It's liberating 😃
Really enjoying this series
Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for the comments and feedback.
This is so informative! What a great series
Glad you think so!
hiya, thanks for uploading your fun and interesting hikingtips&tricks! I'm planning to walk Offa's Dyke path in June. In this clip you say you took water from a stream. i thought that wouldnt be safe to drink. how did your purify?
Good question Tanja and it is one that I am asked quite often on different videos. Therefore, I decided to do an actual video on the subject, th-cam.com/video/GUKvN-b8Cr0/w-d-xo.html.
But to answer the question directly, if no other option for water, use a fast flowing stream, the smaller the better, then use a filter and if possible save that water for cooking, so that you boil it before using. With practise and experience you will begin to recognise the best options available to you. The filter I use is KATADYN, but there are many options on the market. Hope you have a great adventure and feel free to come back with more questions if you have any other queries. Cheers, Nigel
goodmorning Nigel on Kingsday in the Netherlands. Thankyou for your quick reply, i'm gonna checkout your video and others, because i will have a whole summer to spend with my tent in the UK. Good luck to you and many happy miles
Thanks for sharing 'Kingsday in the Netherlands' Tanja, really loved that! Enjoy the summer, sounds like an epic plan!
Looking forward to it! just found your channel and its fun and helpful, to see someone my age do that in stead of 30yo hiking PCT. So thanks a lot!
Glad your enjoying the channel and.... I have no plans for the PCT :)
