Come along for Days 71 to 73 of our End-to-End hike across the UK where we started another National Trail, the Offa's Dyke Path.
We had some very hard days with challenging climbs going over the Clwydian Range and very hot weather that became very unsettled (wettest day of our hike so far!). Otto and I both faced our biggest fears....
BUT: Even with the tough moments, I LOVED the Offa's Dyke Path, the landscape was just incredible :)

In April 2023, I set off on my biggest adventure so far: A 1600mile long hike all across Britain from Dunnet Head in Scotland to Lizard Point in Cornwall. I'm going solo with my rescue dog Otto, (wild) camping along the way.

Route:
Prestatyn-Bodfari (17.6mi/28,3km)
Bodfari-Llandegla (18.5mi/29.8km)
Llandegla-Chirk (15.7mi/25,3km)

My dream is to make a living out of my passion for being outdoors, hiking and creating videos that brighten your day! If you enjoy the videos and want to support our adventure with a treat for Otto and a coffee for me:

Your support means the world and I’m really grateful!

I’m a bit behind on posting these videos (filming and editing while on trail is quite a task!) but I'm uploading new videos every Sunday and Wednesday now so that I can catch up quickly and be more up-to-date.
Please subscribe (it’s free :)) if you want to stay up to date and support my work. That would really mean a lot!

Thank you so much!
Elli and Otto
