Places to see in ( Symonds Yat - UK )
Symonds Yat is a village in the Wye Valley and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye and on the borders of the English counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. It is within a few miles of Monmouthshire and the Welsh border. The name is said to come from Robert Symonds, a 17th-century sheriff of Herefordshire, and yat, an old word for a gate or pass.
The ferry at Symonds Yat has always played a huge part in the life here. In 1800 there were 25 hand ferries between Ross and Chepstow just like those outside Ye Old Ferrie Inn and the Saracen's Head today. They were introduced in Roman times to link the forts of the Doward and the Yat and have served military, civilian, tourist and horse traffic over the years.
Symonds Yat originally encompassed all the lands southerly of Huntsham curve on both sides of Symonds Yat Rock and would have included the area around Coldwell Rocks. The name Symonds Yat used to refer to quite a large area of land and the hamlet of Symonds Yat (East), consisting of the Saracen's Head Inn, the Fish House, Lockkeepers Cottage and one or two cottages on the hillside, was specifically called New Weir and is seen on maps as such up until 1955.
Symonds Yat (East) is on the eastern side of the river, very close to the Gloucestershire border. It has three hotels, WyeDean Canoe and Activity Centre and the Saracens Head Inn (with accommodation). A steep footpath leads from the village up to Symonds Yat Rock. Another footpath and a cycleway, constructed on a former railway line, runs on the eastern bank to Monmouth.
Symonds Yat (West) is on the western side of the river. It has a large caravan and camping site (Sterretts Caravan Site), and a small amusement park owned by Kimberly Danter (daughter of Henry Danter and family member of the famous UK showmen the Danter Family). Symonds Yat (West) amusement park used to have a small funfair which was removed in 2010 due to lack of service.

Places to see in ( Bromyard - UK )
Bromyard is a market town in Herefordshire, England, situated in the valley of the River Frome. The latest census gives a population in 2011 of approximately 4,500. It lies near to the county border with Worcestershire on the A44 between Leominster and Worcester. Bromyard has a number of traditional half-timbered buildings, including some of the pubs, and the parish church dates back to Norman times. For centuries there was a thriving and livestock and cattle market. The town is twinned with Athis-de-l'Orne, Normandy.
Bromyard is mentioned in Bishop Cuthwulf's charter of c.840. Cudwulf established a monasterium at Bromgeard behind a 'thorny enclosure' with the permission of King Behrtwulf, King of the Mercians. Ealdorman Aelfstan, the local magnate, was granted between 500–600 acres of land for a villa beside the River Frome.
For centuries market day was always held on a Monday at Bromyard. The market town was a centre for agriculture with a fair for selling produce grown locally; as well as beef, there were hops, apples and pears, and soft fruit remained vital late into the post-war era. Some farms remained in the church's hands until the late 20th century. The carrier system also operated in Bromyard, within a given radius of the Teme to the north, Frome Hill to the east, and Lugg to the south. The dealers brought supplies to the many outlets, pubs, inns, traders and by the 19th century the shops. In 1751 Bromyard obtained a Turnpike Trust that established a toll road as far as Canon Frome, with some minor roads turnpiked to prevent tax evasion.
The Worcester, Bromyard and Leominster Railway, now dismantled, was first proposed in 1845, and an Act of Parliament to build it obtained in 1861. Estimated to cost £20,000, that number of £10 shares were issued. When sold to the Great Western Railway in 1887, the shares were only worth ten shillings. Bromyard is a starting place of the A465 road which runs to the M4 in South Wales. The town centre is bypassed by the A44 road that connects Aberystwyth to Oxford. Bromyard is notable for its many old and historically interesting buildings that are designated blue plaque buildings, especially in High Street, Broad Street, Market Square, Sherford Street and Rowberry Street, including a number of half-timbered public-houses and dwelling houses.

FI GL & FI GS! 2012 Schindler 3300 MRL Traction Lifts/Elevators @ Wellington Club, Wellington, NZ
FI GL & FI GS! These are the 2012 Schindler 3300 MRL Traction Lifts/Elevators at Wellington Club in Wellington, New Zealand. These were previously older OTIS lifts (probably Lexan) that have been fully replaced with Schindler 3300's. The original shaft doors are still being used and are the only remnants of the old lifts. These lifts use FI GL call stations but FI GS COP's. I wonder if the FI GS was added on later of if it was a mix and match install. What do you think?

Flooded River Wye 31st December 2012 (NYE)
Just like Christmas Eve, NYE is turning out to be another wet one, with the river rising and it still raining the Wye Valley is pretty much flooded. This video shows the Ferrie Inn where we are based and Ross which looks more like a seaside resort. Lets hope that 2013 is a drier year for canoe hire on the river wye.
Severn view services Aust M48
two bridges, two service stations in one place, a motorway, and a nuclear power plant!
Severn view services is now a Crummy burger King - its biggest claim to fame is as the place where Ritchie James from the Manic Street preachers left his car when he dissappeared.
I first visited the original service station nearly 40yrs ago when it was on the M4, before it was moved, and thought it was awsome. Apparently it was the largest service station in the country at the time.
Whilst the current service facilities are dull, within a few minutes you can be standing on the walkway that crosses the moterway above the toll booths, and if you stay on the north side of the motorway you can follow a public footpath to the original viewing point (complete with telescopes) and get a good view of the bridge, oldbury nuclear power station and the original iconic service station (now used as offices).
It is also possible to walk across the bridge, next to the motorway (either side - unless one side is closed for works) all the way to chepstow.

Main Oaks Cottages, Wye Valley
In the shadow of Symonds Yat rock, this 15th century farmstead, set in 80-acres of wild pastureland, lies at the mouth of a beautiful gorge beside the River Wye. There are six holiday cottages each with their own individual charm and character sleeping between 2-7 people.
We offer guests salmon & coarse fishing, while nearby canoeing, bicycle tracks and other outdoor activities make this a perfect location for both family and romantic breaks.
Located in one of the most rural parts of the Wye valley (pictured below), these holiday cottages are nevertheless excellently placed to explore the Forest of Dean, nearby historic towns or mountains and castles of the Welsh Borders.

WILD CAMPING ON THE RIVER OUSE | CAMBRIDGESHIRE WALK
This was a 9.25 mile walk that was meant to start from St. Ives Park and Ride in Cambridgeshire, but we opted to start and finish from the Old Ferry Boat Inn at Holywell further along the trail. I was joined by Owen from Albion Camping once again.
We followed a large section of the Ouse Valley Way along the River Great Ouse, wild camping on it's banks that evening.
