So we will have to take ArchaeoDog (Dougal) and take up the challenge, following the same walk.

Or we could start from the Offa’s Dyke Centre and go from there. Here’s one of the Outreach visits that helped make the film

Offa’s Dyke Centre makeover!
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a real struggle for all of us, not least the Offa’s Dyke Centre staff and committee members because just as membership was rising and we had more Outreach and other events planned, it struck and we had to close down.

The good news is that the executive committee membership has increased, the number of trustees has increased and thanks to a successful funding bid, we are re-opening on St. David’s day 2021 with a facelift on the inside!
With the incredible artist Dan Llewelyn Hall putting on an art exhibition, the Offa‘sDykeYAC and Outreach contacts supplying some creative works and the whole exhibition area being refurbished with new lights and multi-media installed, the centre will be a far more attractive space.

The committee has met several times now in person (we have had lots of meetings online), so it was good to see that other committee members were safe and well. Here you see a couple of us discussing the new layout for the display space. I’d love to tell you more now but I don’t want to spoil the surprise!
