Hereford

Hereford is really lovely, and it is so good to spend some time with Ally.

One of the unforseen benefits of cycle touring in a foreign country is that you really have to exercise your brain when you are memorising maps and complicated routes. We have downloaded Sygic maps, and Osmand Maps on to our Samsung Tablet, both of which are stored off line, so we should be able to find our position easily without having to worry about wi fi. The GPS always works, regardless of where you are. Google maps won't work offline unless you pre-save an area beforehand. One can also do screenshots on the tablet of the planned ride map, as well as satellite screenshots if any intersections are complicated.

Today we are going to go for an exploratory ride around Hereford, just to make sure that the bikes are OK and to orientate ourselves with the maps.
