Searching through things to find citations of Rob Dingle (Powys County Council’s National Trails Officer for Offa’s Dyke), I found this

And that he had been on the BBC’s Country File

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

We have a great visit planned next year where folks from http://wilderness-expertise.co.uk will be traversing part of Offa’s Dyke with their #developingpotential mantra and we will be doing at least some of the journey with them (The Offa’s Dyke Outreach youngsters walking group).

Planned for the summer of 2021, the group will be met and accompanied by the Outreach officer on a 4/5 day trek along the dyke talking of the archaeology, heritage, personal histories of those living along the dyke over time as well as the impact on the Welsh and the Mercians as ‘borders’ become ever more relevant nowadays.

Offa’s Dyke Association – heritage and archaeological outreach

Welcome to this Offa’s Dyke Association WordPress site dedicated to our archaeology, history and heritage Outreach.

Generically this site is dedicated to our Outreach for schools, clubs and groups, etc. however we also carry out outreach to local groups and clubs as well as local communities if necessary with resources and talks including oral histories, local photography and “History Pins”, stories, anecdotes, history, heritage and guidance on how folks can monitor and protect Offa’s Dyke and Wat’s Dyke all of which feeds into projects in and around the Offa’s Dyke Association and Centre.
These include the Offa’s Dyke Collaboratory (with the incredible Prof. Howard Williams), CoSMM (Community Stewardship of Mercian Monuments thanks to the Offa’s Dyke YAC leaders) and liaising strongly with local community groups, Universities, and our colleagues in Offa’s Dyke Association North and Offa’s Dyke Association South.

With this, we are also co-founders of the Offa’s Dyke YAC (Young Archaeologists Club) which meets (aside from Covid-19) at the Offa’s Dyke Centre, Powys, Knighton, once a month.
