More cloud today, so, slightly milder overnight, and, 9C with 14C promised when we leave Chapel Lane CAMC Site.
A short drive, only about 60 miles, so, a leisurely morning of packing up our "gear", and heading off.
Light traffic, although Caravans and Motorhomes more in evidence, weekends are clearly "change-over" day.
Moorhampton CAMC Site, The Old Station, Moorhampton, Hereford, Herefordshire, HR4 7BE (N52.11774 E -2.89289)
I suspect I have blundered in choosing this site. The address implies Hereford, but, in practice, it is ten miles from Hereford, and, the terrain is "undulating".
The good news, the site is small, very quiet and pleasant, all up to usual CAMC standards, with excellent views. Now, the negatives, it is very rural, ie, nearest village (Weobley) is approximately 4 miles away, the nearest place of any size appears to be Leominster, which is approximately 12 miles away. Mobile Signal and 4g signal is almost none existent, (with 3 and Tesco/O2), no TV Signal and, tree cover suggests the satellite dish will not work, so, no soaps!
Perhaps, a site more suited to caravans than motorhomes, ie they have a car, to provide transport. According to the site information, there is a bus service, to Hereford and Llandrindod Wells.
There is a cycle route "advertised" in the site information, it is a circuit of the "black and white villages", no, not Newcastle United Fans, but rather an architectural style. I have plotted the route onto my Sustrans Cycle Map, roughly a dozen villages in a circuit, we will have to assess the gradients, and road/traffic situation.
Due to the lack of internet signal, I will have to save future posts, and post when we reach civilisation. This will be several days. Sorry if this leaves you on the edge of your seat, for the next instalment.
