Tried Googling it?

I just Googled "Offa's dyke route in .gpx format" and got a lot of results. don't know how good they all are, but the first one is:

walkingplaces.co.uk - The very last one on the page is "World's End - Welsh walking along part of Offa's Dyke" (it's in memory map format but I'm sure we could find a converter to gpx).

and the second one looks even better:

mycountryside.org.uk - " Offa’s Dyke National Trail, broken down into the same legs used in The National Trail Guides (in reverse from North to South) – and those ARE in gpx format.

Cheers Andy,

Good finds them mate, ive done a bit of goggling myself, At the moment im only getting sections of the walk which is fine. Im hoping to find the full route somewhere.

Ill import what ive found into Memory-Map and take it from there.

Would still love to find the full walk though.

Thanks again mate.

If you don't manage to find the POIs, headover to http://www.bikehike.co.uk, click on Course Creator and you can plot you own walks there and download them in .gpx format.
