offa's bikers route

Offa's Bikers pages: home, route overview, stats summary, day1, day2, day3

Post ride note: We stuck to the route pretty well with the odd 'getting slightly lost'. The main deviation was on the last day when, in between Pandy and Monmouth, we ended up going via Cross Ash and we continued down the Wye Valley through Tintern rather than climb the bank back into England.

Well the count down is on and we are soon to be off! We know how excited everyone is about this trip (especially our wives who get a bit of peace and quiet for a couple of days) so here is the route and you can follow it day by day!

We will be driving up to Prestatyn, North Wales on the morning of Day 1 (Thursday 27th July)
