22 September 2018 Whitley Bay
Steady drive down with a stop at Alnwick for shopping. Small sight 59 Pitches. Walked into Whitley bay had a coffee at The Rendezvous Cafe then back to the site to do some washing. A lovely sunny day.
18 – 21 Beadnell Bay
Short drive down from Berwick. We have had bad weather here with very bad wind with van rocking and rolling. Managed a run down to the harbour, and a cycle up to Bamburgh. Walked to Seahouses twice along the beach but the tide times are making it difficult for beach combing. Below a picture of Maureen on Beadnell harbour.
14 – 17 September 2018 Berwick on Tweed
Good 4 days here, weather been good. Done some running and had a good cycle to the Union Chain Bridge and the Honey Farm where they had a lovely old bus converted into a café.
Walked into town a few times and one evening there was a Honda Gold Wing parade where all the bikes were lit up – they looked fabulous going across the bridge. After the parade there was a great firework display, one of the best we have seen – small but stunning.
Above picture Maureen nipped across the bridge into Scotland and back.
13 September 2018 North Berwick
Last day in North Berwick so up early for a 3 mile run up to Dirleton Castle, cool down then off into Berwick a 6 mile walk. A good day Out.
Pictures of FAB trees.
12 September 2018 North Berwick
Late start due to 1200 book in time at North Berwick and only 55 mins drive. Arrived and booked in then a walk onto the beach walkabout in both directions for an hour, lovely place for doggies.
9 – 11 September Edinburgh
Over the last few days visited Edinburgh a few times going up to the castle and the old town, visited Holyrood House (not one of the most impressive buildings that we have visited). Had two runs and a long walk onto Cramond Island.
The picture below shows what lengths people have to go to to stop pigeons messing up statues!
7 – 8 September Edinburgh
Nice steady drive down arrived about 1130 so caught the bus up into Edinburgh walk about and coffee.

5 – 6 September 2018 Tyndrum
Good journey up from Fort William, stopped off in Glen Coe for photos but not much water. Arrived at site and booked in then called in the Green Welly for a coffee before walking up part of the West Highland Way.
The following day went for a run up through the forest in between showers. Back at the site had lunch then into town for a coffee and some people watching. Later on had a go at looking for gold in the river, but no luck.

Lovely day so cycled to Neptune’s Staircase via Caol and Corpach. Back to site for lunch then cycled down the Glen.

2 September 2018 Fort William
Run this morning part way up the Ben looking for the elusive diver walking the Ben we could not catch him up (must be getting old). Back to the van and a cycle up to Nevis Range to watch the SDA 2018 cycle event.
