"The Forest of Dean is in ENGLAND, the River Wye is the Border - Always has been and always will be - Over Our Dead Bodies.
Why do you think Offa built his Dyke?
The Wye hasn't always been the border between wales & england.
What about the period when BOTH wales and england dis-owned Monmouthshire?
At that time, they didn't so much have a border as a buffer zone.

Even back then the Forest of Dean wasn't in Wales! and the Monmouthshire boozers used to come to a "Wet" Forest of Dean on a Sunday.

So it was you with the candles
Yes, we were the ones by the back gateway. I was the one limping with the stick.
I tell you what those candles helped keep the midges away, the only time I got bitten was when we were pitching the tent. We went prepared with So Soft(Avon) and 2 different repellents from Lidl, also those cane citronella oil burners 99p each at Lidl, citronella candles flares from Somerfields 49p(pack of 4) and a 2 litre bottle of citronella oil from B&Q reduced to £3.95. I wasn't taking any risks, the BBQ also helped with a 5kg bag of briquettes costing 69p from Tesco's. I can spot a bargain a mile away.
I vaguely remember a recovery vehicle on site, so that was you. I would have gladly helped if I had known you needed a push, not that I know anything about motors though. You probably heard me and the kids trying to avoid squidging the tiny little frogs in the lane behind you to Beddgelert.
I saw a photo of an all year round campsite in the lakes and there where tents pitched in the snow it looked great but cold has anyone ever camped in snow.
so i got it wrong but not far from Monmouth and i believe that's in wales or I'm wrong again any how don't use a tarp in heavy weather or may be dig a mote from fran and steve
in cardiff s wales i think i have got that right or is there still water in my eyes
carry on camping
Monmouth definitely in Wales. The England sign is a few miles down the road.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
