Day 60 & 61: Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th June 2022

Day 60: Tuesday 7th June 2022

We are now travelling down through England to get closer to Glastonbury, ready for the festival. Our next stop from Stafford is Mordiford, near Hereford. We left at 8.45am and stopped at Ludlow Foodhall on the way, where we have been a number of times previously. The journey through Hereford was quite difficult due to some of the busy roads, but we got to the campsite okay! 


It is a big campsite, the facilities are good and the River Wye runs alongside it, so we ventured for a little way alongside the river in the afternoon. There is a possibility of canoeing, as they hire them here, so hopefully we might be able to do that later in the week! 



This campsite has their own “landmark” signpost, so we had to take a photo, having visited the one in John O’ Groats one month ago exactly! 



Day 61: Wednesday 8th June 2022


As we are in the area, we decided to catch the 10am bus to Hereford to look around the town. It is a good town - quite a lot of shops, a nice Cathedral and again a really nice river walk. I seem to post a lot of pictures of pretty rivers and bridges! 




The Mappa Mundi, the largest surviving medieval world map, was also located at the Cathedral, although we didn’t manage to see it.



The cafe we had researched was unfortunately shut. Never mind! After a bit of wandering around and wondering where to go, we found a great cafe called Rocket near the Cathedral for some delicious flatbreads and salad! 


Back at around 5.15pm. It is strange being back in England, but nice to feel slightly closer to home, as it has been a long time that we have been travelling! Really enjoying all the stays though - every campsite and each area is very different which is very interesting to see. This morning, someone kindly helped show us how to put the outdoor awning up for the first time, so fingers crossed we remember how to do it for next time!

The end of our trip!!

Monday 29th August 2022 We slept until about 9.30am. Our shift was due to start at 11.45, so we spent the time having breakfast and chatting...
