IT IS OVER!!!!
The fat lady has sung......
Thank God!!
With an equal amount of pain, relief and gratification I/we ( Bendy and I ), have completed the Offa's Dyke Path. Massive accomplishment on any level, but more so doing two National Trails back to back ( albeit it was not necessarily a wise decision ).
Even though the wifee's did not do much of the Trail, they walked the last small section of the Path with us this morning.
Both Gail and Libby have taken to their amended roles as support crew admirably. Their help and support has been very much appreciated. And surprise surprise the Girls gave Bendy and I little surprise gift at the rock on Sedbury Cliffs.
Today was a short day to the Cairn on the hill at Sedbury Cliffs. All up we did 4.2 kilometres from the Three Tuns ( our ancient Inn In Chepstow) to the Cliffs. Return it was about 7.8 kilometres, as we had a little brain fade on the way out.
I went into the last day with two new major niggles, but with only a few kilometres to go, I was not going to let anything stop me.
After yesterday, the pressure was off!!
Pretty easy stroll back across the bridge over the River Wye, through Sedbury, Buttington Tump, muddy paddocks and back onto Offa's Dyke one last time. The weather was a little problematic today, but did not rain until we had completed our journey to the Cliffs, and even then it was just a light drizzle.
So another epic adventure ends.....
Loved every minute it of it - not, not, not
It was very challenging and a fair bit harder than I was expecting &/or prepared for.
Like the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, it was a great challenge and super walk.
All things considered it was a tip top epic adventure, but not with more than it's fair share of pain.
Time for a Beer
Well more Beers
