We left the farm site to go fishing but managed to fit in a craft centre and another food festival en route. It was the Forest (of Dean) Festival, that combined local food with forest crafts and some good music from the Paris Jazz Cafe Swing band. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and we topped up with deli foods before finding the Bigwell fly fishery at Rockwood in the Wye Valley. We have been in and out of England and Wales several times today! At 6:30 it was getting dark, I was the only fisherman left and was just about to give up when I finally caught a very nice 3lb rainbow trout. A very frustrating 2 hours finally paid off.
We stopped the night at a Britstop pub at Trelleck a few miles south of Monmouth. There was another van there from Leicestershire. We had a good chat with him and the bar lady in the otherwise empty bar. They did not serve food on Sunday evenings.
