However, there are also stretches of beautifully laid flagstone paths. We will warm up by going downhill through woodland to the Olchon Valley before climbing slowly to Offa’s Dyke. From there we will follow a good path to Hay Bluff and on to The Cat’s Back. Finally descending again to our cars. The walk is 10 miles long and should take about 6 hours.
