Offa’s Dyke for MS
Early April this year Phil (& his dog) and Alex are going to walk the Offa’s Dyke National Trail to raise money in aid of The Multiple Sclerosis Society (MS) – all 177 miles and 30,000 feet!
This will be a massive physical challenge for us – 13 days walking and camping every night carrying full packs!

Offa’s Dyke path is a 177-mile walk that weaves in and out of the England – Wales border, from Prestatyn on the North Wales coast to Chepstow on the Severn Estuary. Offa’s Dyke is Britain’s largest man-made monument – built by Offa, King of Mercia from 757 to 796 A.D to try and create a boundry between his kingdom and the independant Welsh kingdoms.
Follow the whole process from start to finish – from the planning & preparation, the training walks, and the equipment, through to the walk itself: the rain, the campsites, the blisters and the aching limbs!
