Open to Offas    8th August 2020

Event Cancelled due to Covid-19 Restrictions

Open to Offas is a long-established challenge walk held in September with options of 23 or 14 miles in 10.0 hours from Cilcain Village Hall (GR SJ176652) (just inside N Wales, 15 minutes beyond Chester by-pass).

 Both routes climb the Clwydian Hills to follow the Offa's Dyke Path with the 23 mile route taking in Moel Famau and a length of the ridge with a return via wooded country. The views are outstanding, the terrain underfoot is excellent throughout and the event is famous for its food.  The start is at 08:30 (23-mile routes) or 09:30 (14-mile route).  Explorer Sheet 265 covers the whole event apart from about a mile at the southern end of the 23-mile route.  Landranger Sheet 116 also covers everything apart from half a mile just off the eastern edge for all routes.
