Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. This year we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Offa’s Dyke path or Clawdd Offa yn Gymraeg. This historic national path runs from my hometown of Prestatyn, winding its way through the beautiful countryside in the Vale of Clwyd, up into the Clwydian range area of outstanding natural beauty, before snaking its way south. On its 177-mile journey to Chepstow, the Offa’s Dyke path crosses the England and Wales border 20 times and weaves its way through eight different counties.

Opened in 1971, the path is named after and closely follows Offa’s Dyke. The path is a national treasure, and I ask Members to join me in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary. And, for those more adventurous amongst you, you are more than welcome to join me and the Friends of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley in walking the Bodfari to Prestatyn leg of the path on Sunday 31 October. Diolch yn fawr.
