Visited Monmouth in the morning, parked up by the river, mainly just to get some provisions. Ended up with Curry and Chips. Do have a feeling my diet may suffer on this trip. Not so much as in losing weight, but as in what I'll just grab to eat instead of cooking. Images from Monmouth will be on thevalleyphotographer.co.uk
Decided on Tintern Area for photo shoot, on this Monday, as I'd already covered Tintern Old Station, and the Abbey. Images can be viewed, and purchased at thevalleyphotographer.co.uk Had noticed '365 Steps' previously, from Lower Wyndcliffe Car Park, and thought this walk would be ideal. Not a walk for the Hairy Lads, as very steep with lots of steps, including metal staircase. An amazing walk with stunning views, and really old woodland. Really enjoyed the walk, then took the 2 Hairies for theirs!! Images will be used on a project IrresistibleOffa.org.uk On a sad note, saw my first Wild Boar, unfortunately on the side of the road, it was a stunning animal nonetheless. Found a lovely Wild Camp site, Credenhill Park Wood. Definitely worth a visit for the views to be had from the Woodland walk. Very quiet site. Weather was dreadful at the start, fierce gales, driving rain. Mother Nature was launching our trip in style. Had my first encounter with the 'law' here!! About midnight, heard a car pull up, torches through the truck's windows! Oh great, I thought. Then someone said "Police"!! Eeek, was I going to be moved on? Opened my side door, with Ru attached to a lead. "Everything OK?" the extremely young Policeman asked. (sign of my age!!) "Fine thank you" my reply. "Are you staying overnight?" He asked. "I was planning to" waiting for the reply to "move on!!" But no, he was very polite, and nicely said "That's fine then, just checking who's about, and I see you have your own security!!" Meaning Ru I think, as Ru hadn't taken his eyes off him, and barked several times!! Good lad...
