Leominster, United Kingdom
I set off at 8.45am for Leominster. On my journey I passed through Hereford, where I decided to take a break and have a look around the town centre, which I must say was lovely – definitely a town more for the ladies though, so men approach with caution else it might cost you alot of money!
Then I continued on, venturing up Dinmoor Hill which was so steep I had to walk. At the summit there was a picnic area, which was very busy. I stopped for an ice cream and started chatting to a few people. Two elderly people I spoke to donated £2 each, so thank you very much to them, it’s very touching having people who I have never met before appreciate what I am doing and donate to the cause.
I arrived at Leominster at about 1.30pm , I found the hostel with ease but unfortunalty it did not open unitl 5pm, so I was left with 3 ½ hours to kill. I had a walk around the town centre then sat outside a cafe and had a pot of tea. Then I walked back to the hostel where the church was striking 5pm , after the chimes had marked the time the bells played a tune which was very nice but I didn’t recognise it.
After settling in, I went out to look for somewhere for dinner. I met a police man who introduced himself as mike and recommended the Black Horse and said to mention his name, I had lasagne and chips which was nice.
Then I returned to the hostel, where a man I met in Lands End walked in, he was amazed to see me sitting there. I also met two young lads, Matt and Yaniv who had rode down from Preston, they were riding from Edinburgh to Portsmouth then onto London raising money for a charity in south America, which was working with people who lived in an area which had been hit by earthquakes.
