August 8, 2025, Biblins Bridge loop from Symonds Yat — Wye Valley

This was literally a dream walk 😍!! Forest, a river, sunny & warm but not hot or humid. SO pretty, I just love the woods. A perfect 40th bday walk i think!! Shame I'm now dying (the next day) but, its worth it!!

Pre-wedding stroll 👌 Back in the UK, partly to attend a friend's wedding in Gloucestershire. Would have been a pity to drive all this way from London and not see anything more than the venue itself, so we went for a stroll along the river Wye before the festivities. Gorgeous area! Cool to momentarily cross the border into Wales, and even more cool to take the hand-pulled ferry back across the river at the end of our loop in Symonds Yat. 🛶
