What a journey, what a walk Offa's Dyke in numbers

Offa’s Dyke is one of the most-wanted longdistance paths among CW readers. We know it’s 177 miles long. But how many cakes, clock towers and topless hikers are there?

THE ANSWERS ARE: 18, 22 and 23 – which we know thanks to 1000-miler Leona Skelton’s excellent record-keeping! Historian Leona recently completed Offa’s Dyke solo – lopping a handy 177 miles off her 1000. Perhaps even more importantly, she furnished us with a treasuretrove of Hard Factual Data. And doesn’t this just say it all about walking?
