An energetic day volunteering here, helping people find the river for 'wild swimming' but the music wasn't at all to my taste, apart from Wunderhorse, so I left early. The usual 'up its own bum' vibe. AND I had to pay £100 to camp! So won't be doing this again.
This blog documents my adventures in my van, currently a Wildax Pulsar, the 3 Cheers Mark IV but known as Cherry.

Hereford and Monmouth, via GTSF
A very stressful GTSF this year- nothing worked, the loos, showers, scanners, internet all crashing and making it hard to do a good job stewarding. Wendy and Steve were there, and I'd have preferred to spend time with them. Not sure if I will steward next year.
Then - further South, with the intention of seeing Stereophonics in Cardiff a week later.

The countryside around is MUCH hillier than I expected, although in retrospect maybe the phrase 'Shropshire Hills' should have been a clue. Lots of things to see and do that I didn't have time for, or couldn't face in the heat - over 30deg again.
On to a CL, Marsh House Farm, which was lovely.

Oh - and I didn't bother going to see Stereophonics! After such a lovely few days in the peaceful countryside, I couldn't face a city stadium in 34 degree heat. Ah well.
