Offa's Dyke Path N-S Part 1 of 2

In June 2022, the start of the heatwave, I walked the Offa's Dyke Path. It's a lovely green country path and the dyke is with you most of the way.
I did it north to south because there were train strikes, so I would be nearer home at the end. It turned out fine except having to read the guide book in reverse!
My new Inov8 boots' heels deteriorated through the hike, causing a twisted ankle and bruised heels - a first time experience, so I returned them for a refund at the end.
Part 1 starts at Prestatyn and takes me to Mellington Hall, almost the halfway point.

Do you recommend the offas dyke path sir and how were the cows? Thanks

[@MinackerMovies]

Cows are much the same anywhere, these were ok, you try to keep a low profile and look uninteresting, but the way I deal with them is if they group and follow you too actively be prepared to turn and face them and scare them off. It’s a good walk, nice having the theme of the Dyke to follow.

Yes that was a point I was making. Also I highly recommend Hadrians Wall Path that goes across coast to coast with much of it on or next the the remaining Wall . Plenty to interest history buffs , easy walking , very well served by bus service so brilliant for walking in stages , plenty of affordable accommodation. It’s one of my favourite Long Distance Footpaths
