About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

The old and the new...

14 miles today took me from Llanymynech to Chirk Castle.

A good walk but, like the rest of the Offa's Dyke walk, is a challenge to anyone - so much of it is sooooo steep and all the ups and downs put a major strain on your legs.

Chirk Castle


That said, from the hill overlooking Chirk Castle I could see so many of the landmarks that remind me of home - Jodrell Bank, Stanlow,  and Beeston Castle.

Stanlow Refinery - looks better at night, plus you can't smell it from here!

Another tough walk tomorrow and I'm hoping I won't get as wet.  It rained quite a lot today, and I mean RAINED!

One of my mum's ancestors was in service in Chirk Castle - gorgeous part of the country
