  • To Commemorate the 50Th Anniversary of the Opening of Offa's Dyke Path
    To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the opening of Offa’s Dyke Path, we asked LDWA members for their memories of this National Trail. Here are some of their experiences, together with some extracts from past issues of the LDWA’s Strider magazine. Page 2 - Andrew Melling’s memories from 1970 Page 3 - Strider Article from December 1973 Page 5 - Strider Article from December 1974 Page 8 - Strider Article from March 1978 Page 10 - Strider Letter from August 1978 Page 11 - Strider Article from December 1981 Page 14 - The Never Ending Expedition - 1988 by Ian Latham Page 17 - Strider Article from April 1988 Page 24 - Strider Article from April 1994 Page 31 - National Trails Register Page 32 - Laurie Wilson’s memories from 2016 Page 35 - Peter ‘Pendle’ Smith’s memories from 2018 1 ANDREW MELLING - MEMORIES FROM 1970 I backpacked Offa's Dyke Path in 1970 using The Shell Book by Frank Noble published in 1969 and a whole bunch of OS 2 1/2 inch maps. After a first night under a bench on Prestatyn beach, I had one night bivouacing on the Clwyddian hills but after that I found nowhere to wild camp and stayed indoors, mainly in pubs, at prices ranging from £1.5s to £1.17s.6d. I remember once, maybe on the approach to Welshpool, being accosted by a farmer accusing me of trespass and not accepting the accuracy of the map. I have copied a page from my photo album: There are ponies on Hergest Ridge, Kington; my bivouac; the River Dee from PontCysyllte Aqueduct; the path along the aqueduct; and a scene along the Shropshire Union canal.
