Once we had set up and Dad had put up the big awning (he is hoping for lots of sunshine) we headed off for a walk at Dunstan Steads before dinner. It's a lovely beach and usually our first and last walk when we are here. A short trot across the golf course in the shadow of Dunstanburgh Castle and there you are on the beach. Great.
On Monday we headed into Alnwick for a stroll around the town (one of Mum's favourite places) and then after lunch went to the beach at Beadnell for our walk. It was lovely and very quiet which may have had something to do with the dark clouds and rain that arrived as we were out. That didn't stop us having a great time, although the seas was a tad cold!
Heavy rain overnight and a very restless night in the 'van. Mum was complaining she was too hot and had no room in the bed. I don't know how much more room she wanted, I was really comfy in my corner.
We were up early today to take Dad to Seahouses where he met up with friends from the camera club to go on a day trip to the Farne Islands. We left him with his camera stuff and a packed lunch and headed off for our walk with Mum, this time along the beach at Bamburgh. (Can you spot a theme for our holiday?)
That's the castle in the background and a completely empty beach. Mind you it was only 9.15 in the morning!
