It's been pretty much a year since my previous walk on the Offa's Dyke Path, so on Saturday morning I shall be catching a train to Welshpool with the intention of spending a couple of days walking southwards to Knighton. My plan is to walk as far as the campsite at Mellington Hall on Saturday (22.5km, 580m), and then continue to Knighton on Sunday (22.5km, 1010m).
The following Social Hiking map shows my planned route (in pink),
which should get overlaid with my progress (in orange) assuming that I remember to switch my SPOT on! There'll also be a blog post for each day when I get round to it!

Well done Alistair, it looks as if you just about survived another epic trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin. It was a good couple of days, although I did wish I'd taken my warmer sleeping bag!
DeleteDo you know if the Mellington Hall campsite takes tents? I am planning to do the walk next month and couldn't find any concrete information on tent campsites in that area?
ReplyDeleteYes the Mellington Hall campsite takes tents as that is where I camped myself on Saturday night. I booked in advance but it turned out I was the only person camping that night! There were plenty of caravans and static caravans there though! Which direction are you planning on doing the walk?
DeleteI believe that some of the B&Bs nearby also allow camping - see the Backpackers Club Long Distance Path Directory for more details.
