Day 54 Woodlands campsite semi circle

Monday: Up 08:15 away 11:45

Relaxed start today because I thought walk was going to be relatively easy hike in a semi circle. I spent much of the morning writing blog for previous day. Because I was leaving my tent pitched and furnished, my rucksack was much lighter than previous days.

I walked to where I had left the Cambrian Way yesterday on the B4343. Then resumed the Cambrian way in a semi circle around Woodlands campsite, ending at Devil's Bridge and returning to the campsite. It took longer than I thought, and was further than I realised. I did manage to hitch a lift for about 1/2 a mile to the start point but other than that, I walked all the way.

Woodlands is the best campsite I have ever stayed in. It has a smart shower (included) / toilet / washing up block; level ground; closely mown grass; ground that is easy to push pegs in; lots of water points; a café; WiFi; washing machine & tumble drier (£1 coins); rotary clothes line; seats around the site; many picnic tables and lots of sculture art. £19 / night is the most I have paid but it was worth it.
