Tower of St.Stephen's church Bodfari is rather imposing from the Lychgate

Bodfari Station House is the campsite owner's home

Day 27 day off in Bodfari

June 25, 2023 in Wales ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

Sunday : Up 07:00. Attended 09:30 Service in Bodfari's village Church - St.Stephen's. Church is beside Dinorben Arms which are both 200 yards from Station House Caravan Park.

A day of 'admin', as my brother-in-law Peter would say, of laundry, repacking, cleaning & treating boots, writing this blog, selecting accommodation and planning route for tomorrow. I feel a little cheated because the signpost in Llandegla advised 29 miles to Prestatyn. I have since walked 8.5 and 14 miles. 29 - 8.5 - 14 = 6.5, but plotting the route I find I have 12 more miles to go, so an error somewhere.

Decided that tomorrow, instead of going straight to the Offa's Dyke path finish in Prestatyn, I will camp a few miles short. This will allow me to arrive at the finish on Tuesday morning without the rush of immediately needing to move on to a campsite. Although maps show lots of campsites around Prestatyn, this was partly motivated by the discovery that few take tents.

1 mile around Bodfari completed on 27th day of walking.
Total miles so far : 286
Weather : Sunshine and hot first thing. Overcast, breezy and cool from noon. Rain for 20 minutes around 4pm, then sunny and warm for the rest of the day.
Objective tomorrow : DyserthRead more
