This book follows the
journey Jacqueline and her
aunt Jenni, two pensioner
ladies, as they trek 136
miles along this marked
trail from Chepstow to the
source of the River Wye,
Plynlimon. Walking for 15
days over mixed terrain,
was tough but what a
challenge! Also included are
images from artists from the
18th - 20th centuries giving
a beautiful visual history of
the Welsh towns along the
River Wye. Although this
is a personal journey story,
hopefully it might inspire
you to take up the challenge
as well.
