Heading north, well, west really

I have found a rolls royce campsite, and it should be at £20.00 per night! So, what is good about it, well the showers are not only hot but there is a significant flow of water, punctuated by the need to regularly push the timer tap to keep the flow going and the facilities are heated bliss! It's beside the River Wye, not far from Hereford, and I went for a lovely walk yesterday afternoon, in the sunshine, along the path beside the river. It is possible to hire canoes for a paddle but not for me I think. It is, however, quite common for travellers to hire canoes at one end of the Wye Valley and paddle downstream (upstream would be very hard work). I've booked in for three nights, seduced by endless hot water? Not really. I plan to visit Hereford to day and view the Mappa Mundi, a fanciful world map, painted on Vellum, and also visit other places of interest in the town. Tomorrow I'll drive around the black and white villages - you'll see when I uplaod photos what that is all about and then head north on Wednesday - two legs up to Edinburgh to see my cousin and his family. I'm contemplating booking into a hotel for a couple of nights up there - pretty chilly, this camping lark here at this time of year and Scotland is doubtless even chillier. Plus I am struggling to keep iPad and iPhone charged, not spending much time on the road where I can plug them into the car charger. Hamster is serving me well, driving well and the GPS is getting better and better now I am getting the hang of it. Ran out of Gas this morning, so haven't had a caffeine fix, but will redress that on arrival in Hereford.
