I was always going to enjoy this. A middle-aged man tramping along Offa's Dyke full of little bits of history, quirks and lamentations for a lost, simpler life. Split into three parts corresponding to the three river valleys that make up the border - the Severn, The Dee and the Wye. Made me want to get out there and see these places for myself, the only one I'm really familiar with is the southern section and even then I'm limited to the market towns - Hay, Chepstow, etc. He is a little rude about Hay, which he obviously loves but has mixed feelings given it's international renown and Disneyfied/theme park version of a small border town. I'll be there myself quite soon if my birthday cycling quest goes according to plan
