On towards Hay-on-Wye

Day 5: Erwood - Glasbury - Llowes - Hay-on-Wye

After the breakfast in the old mill building at Erwood, we broke up our camp and walked in a drizzling rain to Glasbury in a couple of hours. Just before Glasbury, the sun came through and warmed us up. We had a nice lunch in Glasbury, where Sam ordered some cheesecake for him and me. It was a very nice surprise to have 'kwarktaart' as we in Holland call it, in that wonderful place.
After our lunch we walked to Llowes - Terry and I. We lost Sam and Daz there.

A few hours later, just before a new period of rain poured down, we reached Hay-on-Wye and put our tents up on a little campsite next to the road a few hundred yards north of the bridge to Hay.

Hay-on-Wye was a wonderful place to spend the night, having had a nice dinner in one of the many pubs and restaurants and visited one of the 34 bookshops and some old pubs. A very special experience to me was to be in the pub 'The Three Tuns' again in which almost nothing (especially not the quality cider has changed for many decades). Of course we saw "Fag-ash-Lil" a few times walking and shouting drunkenly in the streets of Hay.
