Day 36 - Amble to Eyemouth.
I had to give the Farne Islands and Holy Island a miss because of the winds.
Should be nice tomorrow.
The End.

Day 33 - 35. Amble marina.
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.
Day 19 - Scarborough for a few days.
Carmel, Cassie and Cleo. Scarborough harbour. Crew.
Great photo of the rather moody headland silhouetted against the setting sun (Steve)
ReplyDeleteI agree, a lovely suggestive scene! Is it where you are anchored, Brendan? You must be enjoying a bit of peace and quiet after the raucous company of Madeleine, Carmel and the two dogs on board. How fortunately that the weather was great for all of you. Castles, countryside, markets and pubs. Good company!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity you didn´t visit Lindisfarne ...
ReplyDelete"The island of Lindisfarne with its wealthy monastery was a favourite stop-over for Viking raiders from the end of the 8th century. These Vikings raiders obviously concerned the monks somewhat as they vacated the monastery and did not return for 400 years. Lindisfarne continued as an active religious site from the 12th century until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537. It seems to have become disused by the early 18th century.¨
It really is a stunning coastline, the Northumberland coast. An eye opener for me. Miles of sandy beaches, lovey fine sand. What impressed me the most was how clean it was. No plastic bottles or bags anywhere. Lovely wild flowers too. I definitely want to visit Lindisfarne next time, but at least saw it in the distance.
ReplyDeleteNo, maybe it was Holy Island I saw in the distance........
