I am planning to do Offas Dyke this year in September over 14 days with 1 rest day. Any recommendations appreciated as (i) places for rest day (ii) luggage transfer opportunities (iii) places to leave car if we decide to drive to/from start/finish?

Hi everyone
I'm doing offa's dyke in late July onwards, and going from south to north so I can rest my poor trotters in the clear blue sea. Rather than a mercy estuary that's my way ..

I walked Offa's Dyke north to south in 2005. Just about everyone else I met was going the other way. I chose my way so that I ended up closer to home (Somerset) and my son gave me a lift back from Chepstow.

From the National Trails website - FAQ

"South to North or North to South?

A survey undertaken in 1999 found that 71% of people spending more than one day on the path were heading from south to north, with 25% going north-south and 4% doing out and back walks. It is likely that the majority were heading north because most guidebooks, including the official one, go that way but further research would be needed to find out if this is the case!"

North or South? divided opinion on this, but I guess someone on here has done this trail both ways. For the record I will do it north to south.
