14 – 16 July Edinburgh
Had a good 2 hour walk onto Cramond Island. Back for lunch and then a quiet afternoon relaxing with a short walk along the beach after tea.
Following day caught an early bus into town to avoid the crowds. Wandered down the back streets and then back along Princes Street.
12 – 13 July Edinburgh
Slow journey up. This site allows arrivals after 0900 please! how refreshing. This site has a set of bike storage lockers due to bike theft in the area and next morning while Maureen was out for her run a stolen bike had appeared over night. BEWARE.
Up into town bus pass no good here so £3.20 each way. Had a walk about and lunch in the evening people watching on the promenade near Cramond Island. On the flight path to airport great for Plane spotting.
8 – 11 July 2017 – Berwick Sea View
Good 4 days here, 2 runs for Maureen along Spittal Promenade, couple of good cycles up and around the town. Lots of walking on the beach collecting beach glass and pottery. Found a good cycle shop (Wilson Cycles, Bridge Street) in town so Darian had a slow puncture repaired.
6 July 2017 The Waren Bamburgh
Drove up after lunch at Beadnell did some washing and a bit of relaxing, walked to Budle bay in the evening, this site is overrun with flies and tiny spiders (lots) we will probebly be knocking them off the van for a couple of weeks.
7 July
Walked into Bamburgh had a coffee in the Copper Kettle disappointed they no longer do Bacon butties. Walked onto beach.
This site is not the place to be if you want peace and quiet great for families there is a splash pool, the kids play football until 1030 the van got hit by a frizbee? (not good). Got a pie and chips take away from the bar it was OK.
3 – 5 July 2017 Beadnell
Lovely day, Maureen ran to Beadnell Harbour, then we both cycled up to Seahouses for a coffee and a lovely bacon buttie, yum yum. Some more glass and pottery collecting on the beach and lots of walking.
4 July bad rain all day but managed to get on the beach glass collecting first thing.
5 July lovely day so Maureen ran again to the harbour, then a cycle to Newton by the Sea and then back up to Seahouses. Some more glass and pottery collecting, wow we must have got 400 pieces of glass here and some lovely pottery.
