4. Driving home

Almost a post script.  I wanted to drive down the Wye valley from Monmouth to Chepstow, and particularly past Tintern.  Well, that's as far as we got as the road south from Tintern was barred.  So we took a short detour over the hills and back into Chepstow the slow way.  From Chepstow the old Severn Bridge, 50 years old this year, took us to the M4 and then Bath and Bradford on Avon for lunch.

Bradford had been a venue on a previous holiday this year, on water, in a barge.  The K & A in October was far less busy and a good deal less moist than it was in May.

Nearly home we came upon the remains of a film set seemingly abandoned in the middle of a field in Wiltshire.  No guesses what it is meant to be.  In understand it was a set for a movie - Transformers : The Last Knight.

After five days driving along some of Wales' most picturesque roads the E-Type was surprisingly clean.  Wheels were washed, and paintwork ragged down in no time.

The car will be out again before the winter, but not for an extended holiday.
