Then it was time to find a campsite near a town called Gloucester - so I went for Gloucester Tops Riverside Campsite - at the end of a valley,
29 kms off the main road, with 15 kms of gravel road and beautiful valleys ...
... and another 6 rivers to ford!
I got splashed a few times.
But at the end was a magical campsite...
on the banks of a rushing torrent ...
I lit a fire and opened a beer....
...and settled for the night.
And the next day I headed home, taking the most interesting 5 hours of roads back I could find.
