Monday 29 August - Since it was a bank holiday weekend we took the opportunity to visit Hay on Wye. We took a minor detour on the way to visit the quaint church in Kilpeck. The church has a number of charming corbels including a rather cheeky sheelah na gig (fertility symbol). We took a wander around the church and visited the ruins of Kilpeck Castle before continuing our journey to Hay. First priority upon arriving in Hay was to get lunch, we had sandwiches and Sundaes at Shepherds then promptly visited our favorite shops and perused the books. After we had sated ourselves with browsing books we hoped back in the car and drove along the pass heading to Abergavenny. There was a slight delay when we came across three geese in the road. We pulled over to take a photo as they turned into a farm yard and then were entertained by the farm dog who insisted on herding the geese around. We picked up some greengage plums that the farmer was offering then continued further along the track. We stopped and took a small hike to visit some Welsh Cobbs as they grazed among the ferns before heading all the way to Bristol.
