Thank you Mersey Striders & Co for the fantastic support at every checkpoint on the 2018 Open to Offas Event. What a magnificent organised event. This was my first outing on Open to Offas, one which I will definitely have on my walking calendar for 2019. Stunning route with some amazing exhilarating ridges and extensive views through woods and valleys.? A beautiful and quiet part of the world. A great choice of route distance, easy to access location, fabulous local pub(s), what more could one ask for. Thank you Cyril and Sue, and the lovely folk of the Mersey Striders see you in 2019 for sure. Legs should have recovered by then !!!

Can't close without thanking the Bolton Boys Rob, Bill and Martin not forgetting Kath for the lovely company and wonderful navigation skills spot on as always. Cheers, Carmel
