Leg II MILES WALKED: 177 miles (Complete!)
Last check-in: Prestatyn
Well, I finally made it to the Welsh - English border. And now all I have to do is walk from the south to the north coast of Wales....
Luckily, there's a 177 mile path that roughly follows the border - the Offa's Duke Path. Specifically it tries to follow the 8th century earthwork created by King Offa of the Saxon kingdom of Mercia. Lots of people say it may have been made to keep the Welsh out, but no one's quite sure.
In any case, it follows undulating hills and some mountains up the English Welsh border, all the way to Prestatyn. From the looks of things it can get more remote than even the Coast Path, so we'll see how this goes....
