Departed: Holy Island
Destination: Kelso
Distance: 72km (43km after corrections)
Weather: heavily overcast and icy with strong headwinds (The locals claim unseasonal – Yeah right!)
Mood: Determined
Highlight: Crossing the Scottish Border
“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be at your back” This was the blessing given to us by a Scottish lad who appeared to be the man in charge of the establishment we stayed… How wrong were those words! Read more
Departed: Ambleton
Destination: Holy Island
Distance: 50km
Weather: Warm light rain/patches of sun
Mood: Under pressure then relaxed
Highlight: Lindesfarne Castle
The race was on! We were on a mission! We must reach Holy Island before the incoming tide covers the road and cuts access to the Island until much later in the day. We had until 1:30pm and 50km to cover. So let’s start with a leisurely 8am breakfast! Read more
Departed: Newbiggin-By-The-Sea
Destination: Ambleton (via Alnwick)
Distance: 62km
Weather: Overcast/Mild
Mood: Happy (and at times not so – hills!)
Highlight: Alnwick Castle
Today we were spoilt for choice of Castles! So we narrowed it down to two, Warkworth and Alnwick. Knowing that you really need a day to do Alnwick Castle justice, we simply did a flying visit of Warkworth to spend as much time as possible at Alnwick. Read more

Destination: Newbiggin-By-The-Sea
Distance: 50km
Weather: 4 Seasons in 1
Mood: Happy
Highlight: Summer at the Beach!
Up and out early to catch the 8am train to Newcastle. It was a sunny morning with blue skies. A shame we didn’t have the same yesterday when sightseeing in York. Read more
A day in York… Well actually it was really only half a day by the time we coordinated the bus from Robin Hood’s Bay and a train to York, literally standing room only and stopping to report a horse loose on the tracks! Read more
