25th OCT. SEVERN CARAVAN PARK(bunkhouse), Cilcewydd to between Mardu/Hergan

Weeks left after a cooked breakfast. It was a decent stop off that was well timed and boosted us.
We now had to get back to Knighton but as we have done that section of the path we are entitled to take any route.
We had started about 10 and began by walking the fairly busy B4388 road. This took is via Forden, which appeared on the map as two places two miles apart ,strange!?
We continued at reasonable pace following the Dyke before losing it as we headed into Montgomery. We could just see the castle on a rocky escarpment above the market town and I strained yo get photos over overgrown hedges. We made our way into the quaint centre dominated by the town hall at the end of the market place. It was lined with twee tea shops and other multi paned victorian Dickens style shop fronts. The weather was cooler than the past few days and still overcast but ee sat in on a bench while I ate chips and sent an important email to AGE Uk.  I had to get my wording right so it took abit of time.
We left after an hour,walking road again to meet up with the Offas Dyke near Mellington Hall. This was the hard bit,  the three or four steep ups and downs. Revisiting Churchtown, the place without the town, this time we went in search of the meanstone,  a stone used to weigh corn. We found it infront of the pulpit.
We left in the light diming, climbing up passed the CARE premises then down again more than ready to stop. The first place we came to ,now in fine drizzle , was a cottage minus the farm. The chap pointed out a spot which was hard to get pegs into but determination got us pitched. So pleased to stop.
