Remembering a Great Walk

These videos bring back so many warm memories of walking in Wales. They're both so much better quality videos than any I attempted. 

Both videos shine a light on areas I passed through on Offa's Dyke Path in May. I'm including them on my blog mainly so I can refer back to them easily but any visitors to this page may well enjoy them and even perhaps determine that a visit to this beautiful corner of the British countryside should go on a personal list of "not-to-be-missed".

The first video is one of many by British amateur videographer Patrick Leach who posts what I believe are excellent and informative videos of his various UK walks on his YouTube Channel. Patrick edits his own videos and composes/records his own music for them. 

Patrick grew up in Chepstow in the Wye Valley where the southern end of Offa's Dyke Path is. The steep path between Tintern Abbey and Devil's Pulpit was one of the big challenges for me on the first full day of my walk last May. Whew! A real challenge!



The next video by Wye Explorer is of a walk in the area of Offa's Dyke Path a little further north, where I was on Days 3 - 5 of my walk. Words are inadequate to describe the beauty of this place.



Here's a good reminder for wherever you are in the UK countryside.
