The official launch of ‘A Welsh Wander’ by Presteigne’s Tom Davies took place at the Offa’s Dyke Centre in Knighton last weekend. At the event the room was packed when Tom was joined by weatherman Derek Brockway for a question-and-answer session and book signing. Carolyn Hodges from publishers Y Lolfa introduced the two men and said: “This is a truly inspiring book by a very lovely person, Tom Davies who walked the whole of the Wales Coast Path and Offa’s Dyke Path last summer, raising nearly £7,000 for Alzheimer’s Society. I defy anyone to read his book and NOT finish it itching to get out and see more of Wales”.

After the launch Tom said: “I can’t say thank you enough to everybody who came along to the launch of A Welsh Wander today. Having such a great crowd present was so special. Carolyn, who edited a Welsh Wander, did an amazing job of organising everything and the Offa’s Dyke Centre were great hosts. Derek is always amazing and was fun to answer questions with and my family, as ever, are the most supportive people on the planet. Diolch yn fawr iawn pawb!”
