Offas\’s Dyke Day 9

This was supposed to be a boring day but actullaly turned out quite interesting. The first mile was along the Montgomery canal then crossing over to to Severn river. Lots of wildlife of which the highlight was a wild black Mink. Once again the easy start eventually led to climbing and after a short stop at a pub we headed up into quarrying country. Thinking we were up in the wilds coming across a golf course was a bit of a surprise. We eventually finished in Trefonen 17 miles later. Another day longer than advertised! The good news was that Gill and Alison met up with us at the b&b with Alison staying to do the final 4 days. A decision she now regrets!
