A highlight reel of my recent trek along Offa's Dyke Path.
On Saturday 5th June I set off on my journey, catching the train to Chepstow with plans of hiking the 50 year old Offa's Dyke Path south to north. This short film just about captures some of the better bits along the way, however with so much to cram in, it's not easy to get it down to 4 minutes, so I have full day films too.
My plan was to arrive on the Saturday and just tick off a few miles in the afternoon and then do the rest in a further 10 days. You will find out how I got on if you watch the rest of the films.
All I will tell you is that I had amazing weather throughout and it is blooming hilly.
A map of the full route of the ODP can be found at explore.osmaps.com/route/6920...
Finally, I don't get paid to do these videos, I make them because I enjoy doing so and they make for great memories to look back on in years to come. However if you enjoy them and want to say thank you with a small tip, you can do so at buymeacoffee.com/PipesHikes
The contribution may go on a hot drink or a lager, but most likely it will be saved for future adventures to put to film.

Never thought of doing Offa's Dyke but this looks superb. Will watch your daily videos with interest.

I thought it was a great walk, although I was so fortunate to have great weather pretty much throughout. It is very hilly and I'd advise taking a couple of days longer than I did but there's certainly some fantastic scenery along the way.

Hope you enjoy it. It’s tough but worth it, particularly if you have the weather.

i appreciate the rocky montage training music. This trail has never been on my hit list as im slowly working through my favs but now i will definately get more info on offas.

Haha I couldn’t resist. I went for Offa’s Dyke as it was similar in distance to the Coast to Coast which I loved. I think ODP came very close to C2C to be fair. Really enjoyed it and can’t fault the scenery. Though I was extremely fortunate with the weather. Love the name by the way 😄👍🏼

Excellent! I watched this from start to finish. Deserved to have greater number of views and comments. I am well aware of Offa’s Dyke but didn’t realise how beautiful and rewarding it is. Look forward to your next videos (maybe one day you will do Cotswold Way).

@pipes-hikes 3 жыл бұрын

Yes the Cotswold Way is on my radar, but I think I have a couple more slightly higher on the list to do first 👍🏼 Thanks for the feedback.

Beautiful video. I live in the US & was watching a program I love call Ariel Britain bc I love all things Britain. They featured Offa's Dyke Path on a segment so I had to come look it up. Would love to view this beautiful journey one day. Thanks for your video. Brenda in Atlanta GA 7-12-2022

hi, can you get lost along the trail? im planning to go this coming november. i know its not a very good month though. many thanks!

@pipes-hikes 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can get lost. It is pretty well signposted but there are many areas where there are limited signs. You will need either map and compass or some form of GPS or good mapping app on a phone. I imagine it could be a bit cold, wet and miserable (particularly up high) in November and you will probably be surrounded by lots of cloud. I would say good map reading skills will be essential. Best of luck if you go for it but I’d advise saving it for summer 👍🏼

@@pipes-hikes wow thanks for the info I appreciate it. And you reply so fast. I'm just so desperate. I wanna go unwind and away form stress. I'm thinking maybe I'll do dales way instead. I know it's in a rush decision. And my navigation skills isn't that good either. But thanks for your response really.

Greenslade?

@pipes-hikes 2 жыл бұрын

Apologies I've only just spotted your comment. I wasn't sure what you meant by Greenslade but a quick search reveals they were a rock band so I'm guessing you meant the tune that I used for the vid?? If so I know it from the Rocky films. I don't know if it was originally done or redone by someone else, but the track I have is called Training Montage and is supposedly by Vince DiCola.
