Offa's Dyke Path

There's been some work done on the path. When you come off the road at the far side of the bridge from Hay, you walk through woodland for about ten or fifteen minutes before coming to a slope down to a meadow beside the river. At the top of the slope, there's a concrete pipe across the path that's supposed to act as a drain for a natural stream that only runs during heavy rain. The pipe's been broken for years, with a hole in the top just the right size for someone's foot to go down it if they're not careful.
I went down with Islay and Alfie today, and it's been fixed. The water channel has been improved, and the pipe must have been mended, because a load of gravel and sand has been spread over it, making it much safer in muddy conditions.
