Monmouth B Roads

Recommended Posts

So today I decided to get over the bridge and invade Wales, well just slightly as I would be in and out of the border for this trip.  It were a bit nippy when I left at 08.00 at 1C but the heated grips were on and at least it wasn't windy.

Down the M4 and across the Severn Bridge and bypassed Chepstow and took the B4293 to Monmouth, fuckmine look at the shit on this road............

Passed through Monmouth and up past the Rockfield Studios where Dave Edmunds used to do his thing....................

 

Had a quick stop at Skenfrith Castle, sorry about the shit photo but the sun was really strong by now and it was turning into a glorious day...........

Moved on up the road towards Grosmont and nearly hit a mother duck waddling up the road with her ducklings , I missed them but stopped to get a photo but by time I'd walked down the road they'd dissapeared throught the hedge.  Instead I took a photo of mummy sheep and her lambs in the field , please refrain from getting a hard-on now Pete :classic_unsure:

I carried on up to Peterchurch and then went east , crossing back into England and Herefordshire which is home to some of the finest cider apple orchards anywhere........

I made my way to Hoarwithy which is litteraly on the border as the river Wye is the border here between Wales and England.  I popped into Tresseck campsite as my mate was there in his motorhome and was rewarded with a bacon sarnie.............

I came across a handwriiten sign further down the road and went to investigate.  Fawley Chapel, I can't really find out much about it but it looked old and the village only had about 4-5 houses including the farm.............

I made my way down through the Forest of Dean but didn't stop to take any photos as it was rammed with mountain bikers and I spent most of my time trying to pass them.

Back across the old Severn Bridge to England where I took a photo on my GPS, I have no idea why it came out like that ?  Was it doing an impression of 'Galloping Gertie'  ?

Or was I speeding ?  It wasn't me officer, that's my mates GPS  :classic_unsure:

Come on Bob who the fuck is this, out of all who recorded there you picked this guy to promote Rockfield studios don't you think mentioning that small time band Queen recording Bohemian Rhapsody there might have been a tad more impressive :classic_laugh:

Its simple Pete ask how many know who Dave Edmunds is and then ask how many know who Queen are and you'll get where i was coming from :littleguy: :classic_laugh:

Dave Edmunds put Rockfield on the map......not Queen. And he's Welsh!
