What´s the plan, Brendan? Are you staying another night? Are there many visiting boats like yours? I know this is probably not something you have thought about, but we found that having folding bikes was a great way to get around and see some of the countryside, as well as carry shopping back. We had two bikes which we bought second hand and they were great for exercising as well as sightseeing. The only downside was that they had to be stored inside the boat when we were sailing, so it was awkward to haul them out every time we wanted to use them.
Alnwick (silent L, silent W). Impressive castle and town that I had never heard of. Alnwick castle. Home of Harry Hotspur, the famous knight (what? You've never heard of him?) Alnwick castle. Amble marina. Walworth castle in the distance.
With a name like that, you might need your tuxedo to get in the bar !!

I have thought about a bike but decided that a good pair of walking boots takes up a lot less room, my boat is too small. Next stop Hull.
DeleteWell the toilets look spotless.
ReplyDeleteI remember we had a comfortable time there Hot showers and a good meal in the restaurant.
