Today’s special Offa
Yes it's another mention of Offa's Dyke.
About 4 miles north of Knighton, in a straight line, is Llanfair Hill in Shropshire and Offa's Dyke runs across its western flank. The particular feature of this section is that it's on high ground, grazed by sheep, and there are therefore no trees nearby to mask it. It is also November and so the sun is low in the sky which makes very dramatic lighting.
I took these photographs this afternoon at around 3.00 PM so I'm going to bore you with them now. You have been warned.
Just to remind you – this bank and ditch was made on the instructions of Offa, King of Mercia in the 8th century. I can remember, in my young days, seeing all the men digging.

Oh, I am so bored! NOT
Are you working up to do the whole length of Offa’s Dyke?

That depends on what you mean by ‘working up to do’.
I don’t plan to walk the whole length stopping off at different places overnight but I would like to visit as many sections as I can and, at my age, that may not be very many.

I did mean doing sections until you complete the whole trail, but then you would have to do it twice to get back to your starting point or do a big loop.
When I was in Wales, we did parts of the Pembrokeshire Coast path, but it always doing it in loops. That is one beautiful place to go, the coast line is incredible.
