Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am supporting CAFOD in their efforts to bring clean water around the world - every 20 seconds a child dies from dirty water.For the next 2 months every penny raised by CAFOD will be doubled by the UK government so its a doubly great time to give!</p> <p>I just completed 182 miles along Offa's Dyke &nbsp;( well almost -there was one atrocious day in the Clwydian mountains when we had to re route along a busy A road due to atrocious weather forcing us off the mountain ! Did King Offa have these problems - probably yes given the winding route of the dyke!)</p> <p>We got wet ,muddy, we fell and carried on, to paddle in the icy sea at Prestatyn but was it all worth it ? Of course it was !&nbsp;</p> <p>Would I do it again? Yes but in the 'dry season' ( my friend enquired 'Does Wales have one?')</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
